Public Health Primary Care Engagement Event (Pharmacy Session) 14 th January 2016 Sara Brine, Programme Manager, Health Protection Matthew Herkes, Programme Manager, Wellbeing Commissioning
Background Locally, responsibility for some Public Health primary care sexual health services passed to Lincolnshire County Council in April 2013 (LARC, chlamydia screening, pharmacy based services). Through The Local Authorities (Public Health Functions and Entry to premises by Healthwatch representatives) Regulations 2012, the Council is responsible for commissioning comprehensive open access sexual health services. In April 2014, we commissioned Pharmacy Based Supervised Administration Service through a procurement process known as the Open Select List.
Since 1 April 2013, progress to date. Sexual Health Needs Assessment and Service Reviews. Engaging with providers, stakeholders and elected Members to review our commissioning plans. Working in partnership with Lincolnshire Local Pharmacy Committee (LPC) to agree the procurement process for Emergency Hormonal Contraception and Pregnancy Testing.
