The Coastal West Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) took a decision at its Clinical Commissioning Executive meeting on Tuesday June 23rd 2015, to begin direct, formal contract negotiations with Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WSHFT) to become the prime provider of MSK services.
Commenting, Tim said:
“After the drawn out and frankly messy debacle over whether to award the MSK contract to BUPA CSK Ltd last year, I am very pleased to see the CCG have taken the right decision to begin formal contract negotiations with our Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation Trust. This is the right outcome for patients and our local trauma services and will mean that the future of our NHS services are both sustainable and secure.”
