Notice Description

Derbyshire Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (DCHS) is seeking bids for provision of a Breastfeeding Volunteer Support Service. The service shall offer coordination and management of voluntary support to women establishing breastfeeding throughout the geographical area of Derbyshire excluding Derby City.
