PDF 282 KBMinutes:
Background:
The report sought Cabinet approval to commence the procurement of the Medway Integrated Community Equipment Service Contract. The majority of the equipment prescribed would be to support individuals to live independently in the community thus improving hospital discharges and preventing hospital readmission. A longer contract with appropriate non-performance clauses, would better support the introduction of new technologies and practices.
