Two separate services are being integrated into a singular contractual solution to support NHS Wandsworth and NHS Merton Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) who will act as Contracting Authority.

The service will assist the CCGs to:

• Prevent people from dying prematurely
• Enhance quality of life for people with long term conditions
• Help people to recover from episodes of ill health or following injury
• Ensure people have a positive experience of care
• Treat and care for people in safe environments and protecting them from avoidable harm.

The service will provide a coordination of managed service for packages of care provided both within care facilities and within patient's own homes.
