The trust awarded a contract to HCRG (Virgin Healthcare) on the 10th January 2022 on sole supplier basis for the provision of Dermatology services Official Journal of the European Union reference: 2020/S 215-528589 Due to the provider experiencing operational and staffing issues, it has been mutually agreed to terminate the contract, resulting in high risk clinically unacceptable service provision.
