This will include meaningful opportunities for local community participation and the development of individuals' skills and social relationships. * Ensuring that people who are at risk of admission to specialist hospitals are well supported and those that are receiving care in hospital are supported to discharge in a timely manner This prior information notice is not the start of a procurement process and interested provider organisations should note it is neither the intention nor purpose of the engagement events or consultation questionnaire to confer any advantage to participants regarding any future procurement process.
