Totally PLC on Wednesday said it has won a further new insourcing contract for the delivery of urology services for the Saolta University Health Care Group in Ireland. Totally is a UK and Ireland-focused provider of frontline healthcare services, corporate fitness and wellbeing services. Its shares were up 4.1% to 21.08 pence each in London around midday on Wednesday. ‘The Saolta Group provides acute and specialist hospital services to the West and North West of Ireland in six hospitals across seven sites in Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Leitrim, Donegal and adjoining counties,’ Totally said. The contract, which is valued at about £1.5 million, will support an endoscopy waiting list initiative targeting the reduction of waiting lists through the delivery of diagnostic colonoscopy, gastroscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy procedures between May and December this year. Totally explained that all procedures will be delivered during weekends when hospital facilities are not otherwise in use, maximising the potential number of patients that can be seen within the existing hospital infrastructure. It added that more than 690,223 people were on waiting lists in Ireland at the end of December 2022. The contract follows the announcement of a contract to deliver endoscopies for the Saolta Group, valued at £650,000, earlier this month. Chief Executive Officer Wendy Lawrence said: ‘No patient should have to wait excessively for diagnosis and treatment of conditions which, under normal circumstances, would be routine. Totally provides additional healthcare capacity to ensure that operating theatres and existing hospital infrastructure can be maximised to support as many patients as possible.’ Copyright 2023 Alliance News Ltd.
