East Midlands PCTs extend Beating the Blues contracts
Ultrasis plc, the provider of interactive healthcare and associated services, is pleased to announce that Primary Care Trusts in the East Midlands Strategic Health Authority have recently renewed their contracts for Beating the Blues to October 2010. The combined value of these contracts is approximately £300,000.
This renewal takes the PCTs into a third year of commissioning Beating the Blues through their regional procurement services, RESOURCE, and clearly demonstrates the value that commissioners place on making this National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) approved treatment for depression available within their PCTs.
