The patient would be reviewed daily, Monday- Friday and would be re-patriated where clinically appropriate. The estimated total cost is £28,616.00 from 07th May 2026 to an unknown date.\nThe Trust had a spot purchasing arrangement with this provider in the past, and this is a continuation of that service for a new placement, now coming through the Trust, whereas previously it sat under the ICB.
