NHS Bassetlaw CCG : Roving Night Service

More people in Bassetlaw are being supported to live at home for longer, as demonstrated by a 33% reduction in care home admissions from 2015 to 2018.

While this is a positive outcome, an ageing population and other demographic pressures have increased the demand for community-based health and social care services.

Night care continues to play a vital role in ensuring people are able to remain independent, safe and well in their own homes.

In line with the Government's objective to greatly increase the integration of health and social care, night care services in Bassetlaw are commissioned by the Clinical Commissioning Group.

The Care at Night Service is commissioned under the current NHS Standard Contract and is subject to the overarching NHS Standard Contract General Conditions and Service Conditions.

The Service will be flexible and responsive, delivered by a Provider empowered to take proactive action to ensure eligible needs and desired outcomes are met.

The responsible Provider will deliver an efficient, flexible service which is responsive to changes in demand and ensures capacity is utilised effectively.
