REACH: non-regulatory announcement

("Totally", the "Company" or the "Group")
Totally to help reduce waiting lists in Wales after securing
position on key Framework Agreement
Totally, a leading provider of frontline healthcare services,
corporate fitness and wellbeing services across the UK and Ireland,
is pleased to announce that Pioneer Healthcare, part of the Group,
has been successful in a tender to be included on a key framework
agreement with NHS Wales for the delivery of insourcing services in
the region (the "Framework Agreement"). The Framework Agreement
runs for four years from April 2023 with an option to extend for up
to a further four years, subject to Welsh Government approval,
creating significant opportunities to support in the reduction of
waiting lists.
As of December 2022, waiting lists in Wales(1) stood at a record
735,000 open patient pathways, which is 59% higher than in February
2020. Patients are waiting on average 22 weeks for an appointment,
more than double the pre-COVID waiting time.
This new and important Framework Agreement reflects increased
demand from health boards for support which creates additional
capacity and helps reduce waiting lists. The Framework Agreement
enables the rapid procurement of support to assist authorities with
meeting their 'Referral to Treatment' (RTT) targets as well as
providing support where capacity is not available to meet service
demand.
The Framework Agreement covers a full range of medical and
surgical services including outpatient and pre-operative
assessments, diagnostics, and tests (where required), surgical
procedures and follow-up care. Services that will be available from
Totally(2) via the Framework Agreement will include
the insourcing of clinical, surgical and diagnostics procedures
for a broad range of specialities including Dermatology, Ear Nose
& Throat (ENT), Endoscopy (including Cystoscopy) and
Urology.
Wendy Lawrence, Chief Executive Officer of Totally, said:
"We are delighted to have been awarded a position on this
significant Framework Agreement for NHS Wales. In April last year,
t he Welsh Government stated that by the end of 2022, it wanted no
one in Wales to be waiting more than a year for a first
appointment, yet the figure currently stands at around 75,000. In
the last year, we have helped the NHS in England reduce waiting
lists for procedures by approximately 40,000 and we are eager to
start working with NHS Wales to help patients access the care they
need.
"This is the first time that Totally has secured the potential
to support with waiting list reduction in Wales and this new
framework creates significant new opportunities to grow our
insourcing services."
