Leicester City TotalCare Project
Leicester City CCG to continue working solely with Totally
Totally PLC (AIM: TLY) provides an update on the Leicester City TotalCare Project, a partnership between Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group ("CCG"), Leicester Partnership Trust, Spirit Healthcare Ltd and Totally Health Limited ("Totally Health"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary and the provider of a range of services to the healthcare sector.
The board of Totally is pleased to announce that Leicester City CCG has extended its contract to work solely with Totally Health on the programme until 31 March 2016, and throughout this time, the Company will be in discussions with the CCG regarding ways to continue this work beyond March 2016. Further details will be announced in due course.
The TotalCare programme was commissioned as a pilot scheme in December 2012, with the aim to reduce unscheduled hospital admissions and to have a positive impact on patients' self-management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ("COPD") within Leicester City. As announced by Totally on 18 June 2014, Totally Health had also previously extended its existing contract until 31 March 2015, which also encompassed Totally Health providing additional services to support patients. Furthermore, on 23 July 2014, Totally Health secured an agreement to provide Leicester City CCG with an additional health coaching programme.
Wendy Lawrence, CEO of Totally, said,
"Throughout the TotalCare programme, patient feedback on our health coaching services has been very positive and I am pleased with the impact that Totally Health has had on promoting self-care and reducing reliance on unscheduled healthcare.
"The fact that Totally Health is set to continue its long-standing relationship with Leicester City CCG is testament to the quality of our services and I look forward to providing further updates on the progress of our ongoing programme and discussions."
