The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board has successfully awarded a contract for the "Safe Space (Learning Disability / Autism) Service" to Voyage Care. This initiative falls under the category of miscellaneous health services and aims to provide crisis intervention accommodation and support within South Yorkshire.
