GP Enhanced Public Health Services – Direct Award
PDF 226 KBThe purpose of the report is to recommend a
direct award to the Tower Hamlets GP Care Group of a contract for
the delivery of statutory and core public health services –
sexual health and contraception, substance misuse and NHS health
checks.
The Tower Hamlets GP Care Group CIC is the umbrella organisation
for the GP practices in the borough. Delivery of the services
through the GP Care Group enables joined up service delivery across
all the primary care networks in the borough.
Decision type: Non-key
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Wards affected: (All Wards);
Notice of proposed decision first published: 12/04/2021
Reason for urgency:
The contract to deliver public health services through the GP networks in Tower Hamlets ends on 30th June. Following a decision a lead in period is required to mobilise a new contract by 1st July. Taking account of the call in period a decision later than the end of April would risk delaying the start date for a new contract.
Service discussions with the GP networks were impacted by the requirement to prioritise immediate Covid-19 pandemic response measures – notably the vaccination programme. We have therefore been unable to give the full 28 days notice of the anticipated decision.
Decision due: 28 Apr 21 by Cabinet
Lead member: Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Adults, Health and Wellbeing
Lead director: Corporate Director, Health, Adults and Community
Department: Health, Adults and Community
