Extension of Contract for the provision of Community Falls Service

31/03/2020 - Extension of Contract for the provision of Community Falls Service

The Director of Public Health approves the extension of the contract for the provision of a community falls service.

 

The contract was due to expire on 31 March 2020.  The COVID 19 pandemic is putting pressure on the health system and providers to respond.  The need for the provider to respond to COVID 19 will continue for at least 12 months.

 

It isn’t appropriate to tender the service at the present time and divert management time away from responding to this pressure and emergency situation.
