Localities,

To ensure we commission local healthcare that meets the needs of our communities, we’ve created localities, allowing GPs who understand their practice populations to plan local services.
I saw the above at Our localities | NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCG
Please explain the use of both commas before "we've" and "allowing "

  

Top answer

The first comma helps to break up the sentence for readability. It also corresponds to a natural "breathing point" in spoken English. " modifies "localities".
