Lymphoedema Service on behalf of NHS Brighton and Hove CCG

NHS Brighton and Hove CCG has reviewed the way that it commissions lymphoedema services for its population. The CCG wishes to ensure there is a robust service for patients with primary and secondary lymphoedema which is combined with existing tissue viability pathways. This service must be provided in accordance with a regime of strong clinical governance to ensure that our patients have the upmost trust in the service they receive.

Following a period of engagement and discussion with neighbouring organisations we realise that we are able to extend the services provided by a local community provider to create the required service.

Accordingly, NHS Brighton and Hove CCG have made a minor variation to the existing contract with Sussex Community Foundation Trust to incorporate the additional services required to meet its requirements for the city. The value stated is for the 2 years of the contract.
