Annual health checks for people with a learning disability

The request was successful.

Dear Medway Primary Care Trust (PCT),

In light of your trusts responsibility for commissioning the existing direct enhanced services payment scheme, I would be grateful if could you provide the following information:

1) The overall total of GP surgeries in your trusts area
2) The overall total of GP surgeries in your trusts area who are currently in receipt of direct enhanced services and are therefore expected to offer annual health checks for people with a learning disability.
3) This number as a percentage of the total number of GP surgeries within your trusts area.
4) The names of those GP surgeries in your trusts area currently in receipt of direct enhanced services and therefore offering annual health checks .
5) Any postcode districts within your trusts region that have no GP surgeries in receipt of direct enhanced services and therefore no GP surgeries offering annual health checks.

I look forward to your response.

With thanks,
Clare Lucas

Dear Ms Lucas

 

I am writing to request clarification with regards to your FOI request
below. Upon receipt of the request, it was passed to the relevant member
of staff who has now requested clarification on questions 4 and 5 where
you refer to the offering of 'annual health checks'.

 

Can you please clarify whether you mean the NHS Health Check, which is a
rolling five year rolling programme and not an annual service or
whether you mean one of the other health checks, such as the well-man,
well-woman, over 75's checks. 

 

Once I have received confirmation of these points, we can continue to look
into your request and provide you with a revised response date.

 

Many Thanks
