• A common understanding of where we are with our thinking and what we need to work through / resolve to agree the service model for the future and the associated route to market

• NEPTS national service review and Pathfinder delivering revised service specification, contracting / procurement guidance etc.

There will be opportunities for follow-on discussions following the event which will be scheduled for Tuesday 11th October, between commissioners from the 4 ICBs and providers to hear their views and opinions.
