This question was answered on 2nd August 2023
The NHS Standard Contract is mandated by NHS England for use by commissioners for all contracts for healthcare services, other than primary care, and may be used in relation to hospices. The Contract (in full-length and shorter-form versions) has now been updated for 2023/24. As such, NHS England has no plans to introduce a model NHS hospice contract for integrated care boards.
