Warwickshire County Council ("the Council") has awarded a contract via Direct Award Process A under the Provider Selection Regime, to provide the mandated NHS Health Check Service. Whereby Warwickshire residents aged 40-74 without any predefined existing health conditions can access an NHS Health Check every 5 years.
The NHS Health Check (NHSHC) programme screens 40-74 year olds for risk of health problems, such as, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease and stroke. It achieves this by assessing the top seven risk factors driving the burden of noncommunicable disease in England, and by providing individuals with behavioural support and, where appropriate, medical intervention.
Local authorities are required to provide health checks as this is a mandated service under the Local Authorities (Public Health Functions and Entry to Premises by Local Healthwatch Representatives) Regulations 2013 Act.1 Local Authorities have a statutory duty to provide, or make arrangements to secure the provision of, NHSHCs to be offered to eligible persons in its area once every 5 years, and to secure the provision of NHSHCs. The local authority should also secure continuous improvement in the percentage of eligible persons in its area participating in the NHSHCs.
The need for the service has also been informed by service reviews, engagement with members of Service provision will be free for all service users.
