'Grossly irresponsible' rush into contract led to catastrophic failure

'Grossly irresponsible' rush into contract led to catastrophic failure A new report warns that services for patients are likely to suffer following the collapse of an £800 million contract to provide older people's and adult community services.

The report describes the handling of the contract between Cambridgeshire and Peterborough clinical commissioning group (the CCG) and UnitingCare Partnership as a catalogue of failures.

It sets out urgent recommendations to address the lack of commercial skills in the NHS and calls on NHS England and NHS Improvement to improve the oversight and supervision of contracting arrangements to "avoid such catastrophic failures in future". Public Accounts Select Committee
