The contract duration is for 3 years with a option to extend for up to a further 1 year, total contract length (4 years). The Service is expected to be commence on 1st April 2019.

The Special Allocation Schemes (SAS) or Alternative Medical Schemes (AMS) were introduced in 2004 and are now part of the delegated functions to the CCGs under the co-commissioning arrangements. The aim of this scheme In November 2017, NHS England updated the Primary Care Policy Handbook to include guidance to commissioners on commissioning robust Special Allocation Schemes in primary care. The aim of this scheme is to remove patients from general practice that have threatened or have been violent to practice staff. There are a variety of delivery models both locally and nationally. In developing this service specification, the intention is to develop an outcomes based approach which provides equitable service provision across Norfolk & Waveney with a patient focused approach for this vulnerable group of patients. A broad spectrum of patients may be registered on the schemes often with variable behavioural issues, including patients with a history of drug and alcohol misuse and those in and out of prison. A holistic approach to the care of these patients is important to enable them to return to the care of mainstream primary medical practices.
