II.1.4) Short description
The DPS will cover services commissioned under the NHS Standard Contract that exists between the NHS Trusts in Somerset, the Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group and other associate commissioners.
The DPS is for use by NHS Trusts in Somerset, for the provision of clinical service providers to support waiting list initiatives and ad-hoc service capacity issues. These initiatives tend to be required at short notice.
Health providers deliver NHS funded clinical services under the terms of the NHS Standard Contract. It is becoming increasingly common for health providers to sub-contract delivery of certain clinical services to a third party. This subcontracting can take many forms. It can be the sub-contracting of an entire service or of delivery of part of a care pathway. It can be the sub-contracting to 1 sub-contractor or to multiple sub-contractors.
