What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Central Vale Cluster is looking to continue work with Mind in the Vale, who can provide practices within the area, with a small team of dedicated staff who will be able to accept and manage referrals from the 6 practices as part of a ‘single point of coordination and access’ model. These referrals will be for patients who require onward referral onto existing, locally provided community services to meet their socio-economic and wellbeing needs as opposed to primary health needs.

It is envisaged that this level of funding should be sufficient to employ a minimum of 2 staff to provide the ‘single access point’. These staff will need to be accommodated either within a designated practice. The cluster requires the ‘single point of access’ to operate Monday-Friday (exclusive of bank holidays).
