Issue details

The Tier 3 Weight Management contract was originally implemented in 2014 for a 3 year contract period with a 2 x year possible extension option in March 2017. The original contract also contained a Children's weight management service which has since been tapered and closed as per the contract variation and key Decision record approved in March 2016. As the service was redesigned in March 2016 the current contract will not change in any way and will continue for a further 12 months to allow further performance monitoring of the weight management service over the next 12 months. In view of the gaps already in weight management services following the closing down of the Tier 2 service it would be detrimental at this stage to close down another service when the pathway has only been re-designed in March this year and a contract variation in place around 6 months ago.
