Answer
The Health and Social Care (HSC) Board allocates funding to each HSC Trust for the provision of Day Care Centres. Much of this provision is delivered by HSC Trusts however Trusts also sub-commission services from the voluntary and community sector.
While the arrangements by which each HSC Trust procure these services may vary across the Trusts, each HSC Trust is required to comply with Northern Ireland Public Procurement Policy.
