Health Squad Service. 5. NHS Health Checks Programme - Wellbeing Advisors. 6. County Durham Workplace Health MOTs This modification relates to 6. County Durham Workplace Health MOTs, which is a team dedicated to undertaking Health MOTs in targeted workplaces across County Durham. The checks delivered will spot the early signs of heart disease and provide people with the information they need to reduce their risk of having a heart attack, stroke or developing diabetes It will encourage employers to support people to stay well in work, by gathering and sharing learning on delivering health checks in the workplace. To modify the above contract, as permitted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023: Durham County Council (DCC) has been participating in a National grant funded pilot programme to deliver up to 130,000 cardiovascular disease (CVD) checks in workplaces between 01 September 2024 and 31 March 2025. A national pilot review and evaluation which DCC has contributed to is due summer 2025 and a decision on the future provision of workplace health checks will potentially be made winter 2025. Common delivery challenges across pilot local authorities have already emerged. However, with the scheduled end of the National pilot on 31 March 2025 and continued MOT activity and traction in February/March 2025 a short-term contract extension will maintain momentum and provide continuity of MOT delivery, using the existing delivery model, fully trained staff, and with monitoring, collection of data sets and evaluation already in place. The extension will also enable further data to be gathered to inform an application made into a wider public health underspend exercise which would be impacted by the end of contract and disbanding of the MOT team on 31 March 2025. The decision is therefore to modify the contract to pay the Provider an additional PS51,368.13 to deliver the County Durham Workplace Health MOTs from 01 April 2025 to 30 June 2025.",
