In the earliest phase of the contract, the Provider will work with the Forces and other associated Detainee services to deliver the provision of Healthcare services to detainees to offer a regional service delivery that is adaptable enough to "cross cover" areas of high demand without sacrificing performance in another. In Later phases of the contract the Forces will look to work with the Strategic Partner to better integrate the services they provide, with those provided by the Liaison & Diversion, Substance Misuse Agencies, Mental Health and other connected service teams (incl VCSE's) that provide services to People who find themselves within or at risk of becoming part of the wider judicial System.
