Purpose

Health checks will still be delivered. The
change is to the balance of how they are delivered between
different services. This will reduce the overall number of Health
Checks but will ensure those with the greatest needs are targeted
first and all can self-refer.

Decision

The current £300,000 budget available to
GP practices to provide NHS Health Check appointments will be
reduced by half to £150,000, and that all Health Checks
delivery by pharmacy, sub-contracted by One You East Sussex (OYES),
total £10,000, will be ceased, along with £3,000 of
back-office efficiencies.
