Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, in York where Nimbus Care provide additional capacity and coordination, what additional support will Nimbus Care receive to deliver city-wide enhanced services to the community in York.

NHS England North East and Yorkshire has advised that the York Health and Care Partnership (formerly the NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group) works closely with Nimbuscare Ltd. and its member practices within the NHS England commissioning and primary care contracting framework to agree and support the delivery of services that they are contracted to provide. These services include the Seasonal Influenza Enhanced Service and the COVID-19 vaccination programme, for which requirements on providers and commissioners are set out in the national service specifications. The York Health and Care Partnership and Nimbuscare Ltd. recently worked together on the creation of the Acomb Garth Community Hub to expand capacity for local primary care providers.
