This notice is an Intended Approach Notice for NHS Health Checks, Provider Selection Regime, Most Suitable Provider Process.
This will be published for a minimum of 14 days as per the requirements of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulation 2023.
The new contractual arrangement will require them to deliver the key components of the NHS Health Check, namely risk assessment, risk awareness and risk management. Any additional testing or clinical follow up remains the responsibility for primary care, however there is an expectation that patients are provided with relevant lifestyle information and advice as part of the communication of the results of their health check. Those who complete the Health Check and are found to have a 20% or higher risk of getting cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years will move onto the high-risk register and will then be ineligible for the NHS Health Check.
The total eligible Lincolnshire population for the NHS Health Check Programme is currently 245,950. Each eligible individual is expected to be invited to receive an NHS Health Check once in every 5 year period, resulting in an annual invitation target of 49,190, or 4,099 per month. Each contracted party equally has an annual and monthly invitation target based on their patient population. Providers are currently paid according to activity, with a set cost per invite and per completed health check. There are also annual bonus payments available where Providers invite over 80% of their eligible target population each year and complete checks with incremental additional payments dependent on the proportion of checks completed to incentivise delivery.
The award decision makers will be:
Executive Director of Adult Care and Community Wellbeing in conjunction with the Executive Councillor for Adult Care and Public Health.
