Your request

In light of the fact that you have re-commissioned your homecare contracts very recently (or were scheduled to) could you please answer the questions below?

If you are unable to provide the information because you are still going through the commissioning process and are therefore unable to provide any updated answers then it would be appreciated if you could tell me when you expect the process to be finished by.

1. Please list all the providers of homecare services that you currently commission

2. Please list the start and end date of their contracts

3. Please tell me how many staff each provider employs to provide this service? (If the exact number is not known, please give an approximate number)

4. Please can you also indicate the nature of each contract? (i.e. whether they are spot contracts or guaranteed a certain number of hours)

5. If the providers are paid for guaranteed hours, please indicate how many each contractor is allocated

6. Do you have any in-house provision of homecare services? If so how many hours in total allocated?
