Standard contract for community health services
14th November 2008, 2:38 pm
A new standard contract for community and mental health services is to be introduced by the Department of Health for April 2009, including those delivered by the third sector. Local infrastructure body NAVCA, which is to meet the Department on this, says that organisations receiving funding from Primary Care Trust should be aware of the draft contract and implementation events over the next few months.
