The order of importance of the remaining criteria is as follows: - 2nd: key criteria 4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - 3rd: Key criteria 1: Quality and innovation - 4th: Key criteria 2: Value - 5th: Key criteria 5: Social Value This decision is consistent with local and national NHS plans and fits with how the NHS wants palliative care to be joined-up and focused on the patient. This structured, predictable model ensures continuity and avoids the fragmented medical input that can occur with alternative providers. Castle Partnership provides a stable, experienced team. The team has a proven track record of collaboration using SystmOne integration which is essential for collaborative patient care. The model provides valuable, essential, continuity at end of life care.",
