Decision maker: Deputy Director of Primary Care Commissioning, NHS Sussex ICB. Evaluation key Criteria The service evaluation was reviewed against the 5 key criteria: The key criteria were weighted as follows: • Quality and innovation - 30% • Value -30% • Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - 10% • Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice -20% • Social Value -10% Quality & Innovation: This criterion shares the heaviest weighting as quality and innovation (i.e. maintaining quality is a key part in delivery of healthcare needs in unconventional settings such as hotels) is a key part of the service. Value: This criterion shares the heaviest weighting, which was assessed equally to the "Quality and Innovation" criterion. The contract needs to display it is good value for money in ensuring secondary care admission avoidance and inappropriate use of primary and secondary and emergency care services. Integration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability: The service needs to be adaptive to changing circumstances. E.g. Changing demographics of new arrivals according to new and emerging war zones, climate change etc. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice: This criterion is significant because the service directly aims to reduce health inequality amongst a very vulnerable cohort. Promoting good healthcare support and assisting service users to understand the healthcare choices available to them. Social Value: This criterion recognises the potential impact of services and their contributions to broader social, economic, and environmental improvements in the community. Although this hasn't been weighted as heavily, it is important that providers provide healthcare access to this group many of whom have had limited or no access to healthcare either in their country of origin or whilst travelling to the UK.
