Complex primary care contractual matters
Most integrated care boards (ICBs) make good use of PCC’s primary care contract helpdesk. ICBs have unlimited use of the helpdesk via our affordable annual contracts. Recently we have noted that the questions are more complex and dealing with difficult situations for commissioners and contractors across all four of the primary care areas. This is often due to contractors in difficulty performing contracts. PCC offers additional support to help with these situations:
- To providers to support resilience and sustainability where that is possible – for example, supporting practice financial reviews
- To commissioners to draft and issue appropriate contractual notices, and advise on next steps
We are receiving more requests of this nature and welcome enquiries from ICBs where some additional hands-on support is required. Contact enquiries@pcc-cic.org.uk to find out more.
