Technical requirements: Battersea Healthcare CIC, (Wandsworth GP Federation was appointed as the Lead Provider commissioned by Wandsworth CCG to deliver the Multi-Speciality Community Provider (MCP) specification for a 7-year period.
As the MCP provider currently deliver diabetes care both in primary and community settings via a sub-contractual arrangement, it is intended that the enhanced diabetes care is incorporated into the existing pathway to continue to support a seamless pathway of care and to reduce service fragmentation. The new diabetes model of care has 2 key components:
Wandsworth GP Federation as the lead provider to deliver enhanced diabetes care in primary care and sub-contract certain elements of the overall service to individual GP practices, working at scale as part of the evolving Primary Care Networks;
Central London Community Healthcare (CLCH) currently deliver diabetes care to Wandsworth patients via a subcontractual arrangement with Wandsworth GP Federation. The diabetes care is part of the suite of services included in the Wandsworth Community Adult Health Services (CAHS).
As new service model aims to integrate both primary and community care service, therefore, this modification will safeguard continuity of care and service delivery.
The primary care element is currently delivered by Wandsworth GP Federation under the PACT arrangement, therefore to ensure continuity of care and service delivery the additional element is incorporated into the existing PACT agreement.
In addition, the service can only be delivered by local GP practices, as, it would be impossible to make the complete patient record available to a new provider outside of patients GPs.
The community care element is currently delivered by CLCH, the following form part of the consideration for a direct award:
— modification of the contract to include this service will ensure integration and avoidance of unsafe service fragmentation,
— avoidance of duplication of services and possibly disincentivises management of patients in the appropriate setting.
