Finances

Funding for the actual intervention has come from Newbury and District Clinical Commissioning Group as a Quality Improvement project.  This website and associated information and analysis kindly supported by a QInnovation grant from QResearch (a joint not-for-profit partnership between Emis plc, Emis NUG and University of Nottingham).

This page will list the costings as they get finalised throughout the project
