UnitingCare Partnership - Background
The £800 million contract between UnitingCare Partnership and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), intended to provide older people's and adult community services, collapsed in December after just eight months.
The Committee will scrutinise the design and operation of the contract, the events leading to its termination and the implications for new models of integrated service delivery elsewhere in the UK.
