The move was the final stage in establishing the new Sutton CCG, which commissions the borough’s healthcare, by bringing all the GPs and CCG staff together in one building.
To mark the occasion councillor Sean Brennan, the mayor of Sutton, unveiled a commemorative plaque.
Dr Brendan Hudson, chair of Sutton CCG, said: “We have come such a long way since the CCG was first formed in December 2011 by our 28 GP members and I am grateful to everyone within the CCG and our partners and stakeholders who have travelled with us and supported us on this journey.
“As an organisation, we can now fully concentrate on the job in hand and our intention to pursue quality and value for money for local health services in Sutton."
Sutton CCG is responsible for managing the NHS budget and buying hospital, community and mental health services for the 180,000 people living in Sutton.
