Additionally, Spire Healthcare said that if required it will allow NHSE to fully access its facilities and teams on a local, regional or national basis in case there is an increase in Covid-19 patients in NHS hospitals.

If there is a surge at Spire Healthcare hospital, it will receive a complete cost recovery for its services.

NHS England chief operating officer and Covid incident director Sir David Sloman said:  “NHS staff have done an incredible job over the last year recovering elective treatment levels and then keeping non-COVID services going as pressures have built.

“As part of this millions of patients have already got their tests and treatment quicker thanks to our existing deal with independent providers.

“With the high number of Omicron cases placing even greater pressure on hospitals now and over the coming weeks, this deal, struck under direction from the Secretary of State, means as many people as possible can continue to get the care they need.”
