Doncaster Ear Care Initial Consultation Pilot – Service Update 

The ICB PC team has notified contractors participating in the Doncaster Ear Care initial consultation pilot that the service will cease on Friday 31st May 2024.

The pilot was commissioned with a limited budget, which was extended until the end of the 2023/24 financial year. However, without an identified source of ongoing funding, the service is now ending. Any activities conducted up to and including the 31st May 2024, will be compensated according to the specified terms, but no further claims will be processed for activities beyond this date.

The ICB PC team would like to extend their gratitude to all participants of the pilot. The evaluation data has shown positive feedback and outcomes.

Recent activity has dropped significantly, largely due to uncertainty about the service’s continuation. Despite the service ending, the ICB is collaborating with CPSY and partners to assess needs and explore future options.
