Totally plc

 

("Totally", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Totally's Urgent Care division secures new contracts and multiple contract
extensions for services delivered across North East England, Staffordshire,
Stoke-on-Trent and South East London

 

Total value worth more than £54 million

 

Totally plc (AIM: TLY), the provider of healthcare services across the UK and
Ireland, is pleased to announce that its Urgent Care division has been awarded
three new contracts and multiple contract extensions to deliver services
across North East England, Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent and South East
London, together worth a value of more than £54 million.

 

Vocare Limited ("Vocare"), part of Totally's Urgent Care Division, has been
awarded a new contract with Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent CCGs for the
provision of GP Out of Hours services (GP OOH). Vocare already provides GP OOH
services in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent as part of a contract for
Integrated Urgent Care. This new contract, which Vocare secured through a
competitive tender process, supports the delivery of care for an increased
population of c. 1.2 million people. The contract's total value is £45
million over five years, with an option to extend for a further two
years. The Company expects to mobilise the service by April 2022.

 

Totally's Urgent Care Division, which comprises Vocare and Greenbrook
Healthcare Limited ("Greenbrook"), has also been awarded two new contracts for
the delivery of NHS 111 online clinical services in North East England and
South East London Clinical Assessment Services (CAS). The contracts, which
will run for a duration of 3 months, complement the NHS 111 telephony services
that the division currently delivers. Vocare will deliver the services in
North East England and Greenbrook will deliver the services in South East
London. Collectively, the two contracts are worth a total of £0.6 million.

 

Greenbrook has also been awarded multiple contract extensions for the delivery
of Urgent Treatment Centres (UTC) in South East London. The contract
extensions are valued at a total of £8.6 million and run for periods of
between 6 and 12 months. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, declared a 'major
incident' in London in December 2021 as COVID-19 cases surged following the
identification of the new Omicron variant. These extensions mean that
Greenbrook will continue to provide support in Urgent Care as pressure on the
NHS remains high. Greenbrook's UTCs deliver care in partnership with
hospitals' Accident and Emergency departments, reducing the time that patients
seeking urgent treatment need to spend in hospital and diverting patients from
the Emergency department where possible.

 

Wendy Lawrence, CEO of Totally, said: "Today's announcement not only reflects
the high standard of care that our Urgent Care division continues to provide
to patients in partnership with the NHS, but also the increased demand for
such services across the UK. Totally continues to secure new work through
competitive tender and expand services on the back of positive partnerships.

 

"The role we play within the UK's healthcare system is essential at the best
of times. 'NHS under pressure' is a story that has regularly been reported
over the years, and Totally was established to help ensure that patients can
quickly access the healthcare they need.

 

"When the NHS is under significant pressure, as it is currently, ensuring
access to appropriate NHS services via NHS 111 or GP OOH and diverting
non-emergency patients away from busy emergency departments becomes all the
more important. I am proud that our services are recognised by the NHS as a
vital part of care delivery. The wide range of services provided by Totally
mean we remain well-positioned to meet the increased demand for high quality
care, particularly as the UK continues to combat the adverse effects of
COVID-19."
