Four phases also included in-depth interviews with a mix of stakeholders. The perception research may need to be expanded e.g. to incorporate research into patient hospital choice to identify any whether this differs by the ailment that is being treated and new models of care. Further details of the Contracting Authority?s requirements under the contract and other relevant information are given in the Specification at Schedule 1.
