Description

The statement below is designed to bring interested parties up to speed with developments in regard to the provision of ophthalmology services in Milton Keynes.

History:
MKCCG ran a procurement process from July - Nov 2014 for a Milton Keynes Community Ophthalmology Service. The outcome of this process was that MKCCG was unable to award the contract. Full interim arrangements were put in place to ensure the continuation of the service while the CCG reviewed its options.

Current Position:
MKCCG has decided to trial an integrated model of care for Ophthalmology with its current provider, Milton Keynes University Hospital Foundation Trust, for a period of 18 months. The first 9 months [which commenced December 2015] is designed to trial the integrated approach, allow the service delivery models to be tested and confidence in the financial envelope.

The CCG has committed to commencing procurement for Ophthalmology services for Milton Keynes in 2016. It is anticipated that this will be for a full managed care service, assuming positive outcome of the pilot, or for a service in line with the pilot project outcomes.

Any information relating to this future procurement will be posted on Bravo in the usual way.
