Full council record
Purpose
The decision required is to continue to procure some
Public Health services directly with GP Practices and Community
Pharmacies to ensure opportunistic delivery and data
returns.
Opportunistic delivery is made possible in that
people are likely to be visiting their GP or Pharmacy about a range
of health conditions which presents opportunities to signpost and
refer to available Public Health funded services.
