Devon ICB- Waiting Well Service

The Waiting Well service provides non-clinical support to long waiting patients who are on waiting lists for elective care. Living Options Devon (LOD) is the lead organisation delivering this service and has worked in partnership with the Wolseley Trust (Plymouth), Torbay Community Development Trust (Torbay) and DisAbility Cornwall to connect patients who are waiting for elective care to the community support available in their local area. This supports them to maintain their independence and empowers patients to make decisions about their ongoing care and condition. This service is in scope of section 9 (Light Touch Contracts) of the Procurement Act 2023 and below the Light touch threshold of £663,540.
