Interhealth Care Services (UK) Ltd awarded major new healthcare project

These new Treatment Centres (TCs) form part of GC5, the North West part of the national DH programme designed to provide treatment for elective surgical cases.

Under the partnership arrangement, Interhealth Canada, a private health care management company recognised internationally as a provider of high quality clinical services, will provide all the clinical services required by the TCs. Interhealth will meet standards established by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence; these standards will be monitored by the National Care Standards Commission.

Jarvis will be responsible for the construction, refurbishment and facilities management (FM) of the TCs, drawing on its long and successful experience of providing such services to schools, universities, hospitals and other public sector clients.

Mike O'Keefe, Chief Executive Officer of Interhealth Canada, stated:
"Interhealth Canada is proud to be part of this major healthcare programme. Interhealth assures the North West Community of its commitment to the delivery of high quality patient focused care, that will meet both patient expectations and national standards".

Kevin Hyde, Chief Executive of Jarvis, said:

“We are very proud to have been given this opportunity to be involved at the outset of this important new initiative in the health sector. We look forward to contributing our established skills in the provision of primary healthcare infrastructure services to the benefit of the North West community”.
