Totally wins further new contract for urology services in Ireland

 

Totally plc (AIM: TLY), a leading provider of frontline healthcare services,
corporate fitness and wellbeing services across the UK and Ireland, announces
it has won a further new insourcing contract for the delivery of urology
services for the Saolta University Health Care Group (the "Saolta Group") in
Ireland.

 

The additional contract, valued at c.£1.5m, will support an endoscopy waiting
list initiative targeting the reduction of waiting lists through the delivery
of diagnostic colonoscopy, gastroscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy procedures
between May 2023 and December 2023. All procedures will be delivered during
weekends when hospital facilities are not otherwise in use, maximising the
potential number of patients that can be seen within the existing hospital
infrastructure.

 

More than 690,223 people were on waiting lists in Ireland at the end of
December 2022(1), with almost 70% waiting longer than the Sláintecare maximum
wait times(2).

This further new contract follows the announcement of a contract to deliver
endoscopies (flexible cystoscopies) for the Saolta Group, valued at c.£650k,
earlier this month. The Saolta Group provides acute and specialist hospital
services to the West and North West of Ireland in six hospitals across seven
sites in Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Leitrim, Donegal and adjoining
counties.

Wendy Lawrence, Chief Executive Officer of Totally, said:

"No patient should have to wait excessively for diagnosis and treatment of
conditions which, under normal circumstances, would be routine. Totally
provides additional healthcare capacity to ensure that operating theatres and
existing hospital infrastructure can be maximised to support as many patients
as possible.

"This further contract with the Saolta Group shows the significant opportunity
for quality insourcing providers to help tackle this significant healthcare
challenge."
