Forward Thinking Birmingham, a consortium that includes Priory Group and Beacon UK, has been named preferred bidder for a £124 million mental health contract.
Under the terms of the deal, agreed with Birmingham South Central Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), the consortium will have to deliver services for children, adolescents and adults under 25 over five years.
The consortium, which is led by Birmingham Children’s Hospital, has promised to provide a 24/7 phone line to allow children and young people to immediately access experts who can support them. A ‘one care plan’ patient management system, that patients can access themselves too, will also be introduced to prevent patients from getting lost in the system.
