The revised Locally Commissioned Service (LCS) for asylum seekers supports GP practices to register asylum seekers residing in initial accommodation centre sites in NCL, provide initial healthcare assessments and ongoing care.

The  LCS has been put in place in recognition of the additional clinical and administrative pressures placed on practices, given the complexity of asylum seekers and the volume of throughput in delivering health services for this patient population.

The service is to be offered to any child or adult asylum seekers who are temporarily accommodated by the UK Home Office within an initial accommodation centre site located across the NCL boroughs.

See the PQS supporting documents page for prescribing information.
