The contract for the council funded Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in Salford has been awarded to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) for another 12 months. Salford City Council’s Procurement Board agreed to give the contract to MFT worth £378,871.
The meeting today (April 20) heard that the contract will run until March 31, 2023. Work also needs to be completed to integrate MFT CAMHS contracts and children’s mental health budgets with Salford CCG and to facilitate alignment with new GM Integrated Care System contracts.
Deputy City Mayor Councillor John Merry was concerned for the current Salford specific services coming under the branch of MFT and required assurances that they would not be cut.
