About Health - £331,750 p.a. 4-year Contract to Provide Dermatology Services to Castle Point, Rochford and Southend CCGs, UK

Totally plc (AIM:TLY), the provider of a range of out-of-hospital services to the healthcare sector in the UK, is pleased to announce that through its subsidiary About Health Limited ("About Health"), a provider of community based dermatology services under contract to the NHS since 2009, that it will deliver community dermatology services for Castle Point, Rochford and Southend Clinical Commissioning Groups ("CCGs") in the UK.

The provision of integrated community dermatology services, including all dermatology services except cancer services, has been secured through a combined bid alongside Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and GP Healthcare Alliance, a GP Federation covering 20 practices in the Castle Point CCG area ("the Contract"). The Contract is primarily held by Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust with GP Healthcare Alliance subcontracted to provide demand management support and primary care education to local practices, and with About Health subcontracted to deliver the community dermatology services element of the Contract with revenues totalling £331,750 per annum for About Health.

The Contract has been awarded to the Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for four years with an option to extend for a further 12 months with the provisional commencement date targeted for December 2017.

Wendy Lawrence, CEO of Totally, said, "This represents an exciting new opportunity for our leading dermatology services company About Health. After many years of working in collaboration with secondary care and primary care providers, this contract represents the first opportunity to enter into a formal partnership with such providers to deliver a truly integrated service to CCGs. It is an exciting opportunity to deliver better, more cohesive services and opens up new opportunities for About Health to work in partnerships with other NHS Trusts and roll this model out in other parts of the UK."
