West Lancashire community services tender

LAST summer NHS Southport and Formby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS West Lancashire CCG agreed to tender the adult community services that have been provided by the Trust since 2011.

The services were split into 3 lots for which both NHS and private sector providers could bid:-

Integrated community services for Southport and Formby.

► Integrated community service for West Lancashire.

► GP out of hours, walk-in services and acute visiting in West Lancashire.

The 1st stage of the tender process is called the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ). It is a shortlisting tool used to check the bidding organisation's credentials as a healthcare provider. The Trust submitted its PQQs by the January deadline.

Southport and Formby CCG is still considering our submission; however, NHS West Lancashire CCG has announced that the Trust was unsuccessful in clearing this stage.

Details of the successful organisations, which include private providers Optum Health Solutions and Virgin Care Services, are published on the CCG's website.

Interim Chief Executive Ann Marr said:- "This is a very disappointing decision. Our community based staff provide excellent care to patients in their homes and in clinics every day of the week. The Trust very much values their hard work and commitment, and patient satisfaction is high. We have ambitious plans to add new services, which would completely transform the way that care is delivered in our community, and provide services more tailored to patients' needs. We will seek clarification about why the CCG has chosen not to support this model of innovative, integrated care."

A decision on the PQQ for NHS Southport and Formby CCG's integrated community services is due to be announced in April 2016. This is a separate process unconnected to the West Lancashire decision.

Is a 'White Easter' really heading to the UK?

DID you know statistically a 'White Easter' is more common in the UK than a 'White Christmas'? Meteorologists generally define 4 seasons in many climatic areas:- spring, summer, autumn (fall) and winter, so Monday, 1 March 2016, will be the 1st day of spring! But sadly do not put your gloves away just yet... Oddly in the UK we are more likely to see snow between January and March and this year the we might just have a 'White Easter' after all. Back in January, we said we might get snowfall through out the UK and now forecasters are telling us a polar plunge set to bring ice and sub zero temperatures for March. So what do you think? Will you be making a bet on a:- 'White Easter' and singing:- 'I'm dreaming of a white Easter, just like the ones I used to know....'? Email us to:- News24@SouthportReporter.com, with your thoughts on this wintry topic.
