2021 Update
EHC commissioning in South Tyneside is transitioning to PSNE.
This is being done by way of a contract variation. You will have received this contract variation via Pharmoutcomes and once the transition has occurred the two new PGD's below will become effective.
They are provided here so you can view them during the contract variation process. They will only become effective when the Pharmoutcomes module is switched on for the new service.
