ICBs and councils around the country have announced new partnerships to replace vital services previously provided by NRS Healthcare after it went to liquidation.

Deals to provide continuity of care have been announced after the healthcare equipment provider went into liquidation on Friday.

Lincolnshire CC announced community equipment and wheelchair services were being provided by Millbrook Healthcare as of 1 August with telecare services taken over by Livity Life while Brighton & Hove City Council, East and West Sussex CCs and NHS Sussex Integrated Health and Care Board said new arrangements for rails, hoists, beds and technology-enabled care services had been put in place from 1 August.

NRS provided around 40% of healthcare equipment to the community in England.
