EHC Services - South Tyneside
We are pleased to announce that South Tyneside commissioners have also approved an increase in the EHC consultation fee to £21.36, mirroring the recent change in Gateshead. This arrangement required a bit more time to finalise, as the commissioning landscape in South Tyneside is slightly more complex, involving multiple commissioners including SST Foundation Trust working in partnership with the South Tyneside Council. This change will start on the 1st July for any providers in South Tyneside. This is great news! However, the LPC acknowledges this will be a temporary measure until the national service, which doesn't have a confirmed operational start date yet. Until then, the current local service will continue at this new rate. Repurposing of Sexual Health Funding - Gateshead & South Tyneside We've had productive discussions with Gateshead and South Tyneside Commissioners about the funding for the EHC service once it goes national. Both have confirmed their commitment to keeping these funds within Community Pharmacy. As a result, we're exploring new sexual health services that could be provided through Community Pharmacy and will share updates soon. Please contact the LPC if you have any ideas or comments to contribute to these discussions.
