Contract Wins and Renewals

• The Yorkshire Post emphasised the importance of One Health's new five-year contracts with the Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). These contracts also cover Derby, Derbyshire, and West Yorkshire ICBs.
• These agreements will provide care for 4,000 new patients and 2,000 surgical procedures annually, reinforcing One Health's support for NHS waiting lists.
• TheBusinessDesk.com outlined how the move from annual contracts to five-year agreements demonstrates the NHS’s trust in One Health's long-standing value.

CEO Comments
