Answered by Preet Kaur Gill
Individual contracts set out grounds for termination and relevant contracts are published by National Health Service bodies. Standard contracts generally include terms allowing termination for circumstances where contractual conditions, or Key Performance Indicators, are not met. Standard review processes, which could include an independent assessment of impact, would determine this. Most contracts have clauses allowing termination for convenience.
