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

 

Totally's Urgent Care division awarded new contract worth c.£10m p.a. to
provide national contingency support for NHS 111

Totally plc (AIM: TLY), a leading provider of frontline healthcare services,
corporate fitness and wellbeing services across the UK and Ireland, is pleased
to announce it has been awarded a new contract by NHS England to provide
national NHS 111 contingency services. The contract, awarded to Vocare Limited
("Vocare"), part of Totally's Urgent Care division, will run from 1 March 2023
at a value of c. £10 million per annum, initially for one year with the
option to extend for a further year.

 

NHS England has commissioned this support to provide additional call handling
and clinical capacity to help to alleviate some of the pressures on local NHS
111 services, as required. NHS 111 provides an essential service to the UK
population, offering support as wide-reaching as over-the-telephone healthcare
advice, to access to urgent and emergency care.

 

Vocare is a long-standing provider of regional NHS 111 services. This new
contract provides additional flexible capacity, which can be precisely
targeted where and when needed.

 

Wendy Lawrence, CEO of Totally, said: "Totally has significant experience
providing quality, resilient and responsive regional NHS 111 services. Our
services have provided essential access to core healthcare services as demand
has risen beyond the level anticipated by commissioners. This new contract
re-affirms Totally as a core partner in the delivery of NHS 111 services and
moves to recognise the new normal in which healthcare providers are operating,
providing essential additional capacity into the system."
