From 30 June 2006, councils, NHS trusts and the third sector can use the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency (PASA) National Framework Agreement for Telecare to procure telecare. The agreement will be of interest to commissioners, and provides an Official Journal of the European Union-compliant range of equipment and services. The national framework agreement for telecare runs for 4 years, until May 2010. (NHS PASA - press release) (NHS PASA - telecare)
