NHS England Increasing Capacity Framework Agreement - Refresh

Description

NHS England intends to invite additional providers to join the ICF. NHS England Increasing Capacity Framework Agreement. The National Health Service Commissioning Board (which uses the operational name ‘NHS England’) has established a framework for clinical services titled Increasing Capacity Framework (ICF) under the light touch regime, and has entered into a framework agreement with each provider appointed to the ICF. The services in scope are: 1) NHS inpatient and outpatient (including full supporting pathology and imaging) services and urgent elective care and cancer treatment to service users in line with nationally set criteria; 2) NHS inpatient non-elective care (either direct admission or transfer from an NHS organisation). The ICF may be accessed by NHS England and all CCGs, and NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts across England and their successor bodies.
