Provision of Local Enhanced Services for Complex Needs and Long-Term Conditions in Tower Hamlets

About

NHS Tower Hamlets Clinical Commissioning Group awarded a contract to Tower Hamlets GP Care Group CiC for the provision of Local Enhanced Services, valued at AUD 21,000,000.

The services primarily focus on improving the health of patients with complex needs and long-term conditions, and also include improvements in immunisations and vaccinations coverage, health checks, and other areas of health care.

The contract was awarded to the GP federation whose members comprise all 37 GP practices in Tower Hamlets.

This contractual change aims to reduce the transactional burden on both the CCG and GP practices, enable a broader population health approach to the management of patients under the enhanced service, and support a more collaborative approach to the delivery of care, enabling practices to share workforce during a period where all practices are experiencing significant recruitment challenges.
