London-listed Totally (AIM:TLY ) has announced a range of contract extensions with the UK’s National Health Service worth a total of c. £19.55 million.
The healthcare service provider said its wholly-owned subsidiary, Volcare, a leading provider of urgent care services in the UK, will now continue its patient services beyond March 2021.
The extended contracts, which also includes options for further 12-month extensions, will see Vocare continue to provide vital GP Out of Hours, NHS 111 and Integrated Urgent Care Services to several NHS Commissioners across England.
"The COVID-19 pandemic we are currently facing has highlighted the importance of supporting the NHS through the provision of high quality, responsive services for patients,” said Wendy Lawrence, CEO of Totally.
Shares in Totally closed at 18.75 on Wednesday afternoon.
Lawrence said the contract extensions will enable the company to support the needs of the communities it serves as well as strengthen its relationship with the NHS.
“Our priority remains the delivery of frontline services across the UK and ensuring we work closely with the NHS as the COVID-19 situation evolves and we move into the next stages,” she added.
Meanwhile, the group also intends to mobilise its planned care and insourcing divisions to ensure they are ready to recommence operations and support the NHS across the UK.
The move is in line with recent Government guidance and comes as the NHS works towards moving into the next phase of its plan to resume non-essential and elective procedures.
