Community 1st Oldham (C1OL)
About C1OL
The Department of Health, the local healthcare community and the private sector have joined forces to establish a joint venture company: Community 1st Oldham Limited.
Oldham’s 25 year LIFT programme brings together Oldham Primary Care Trust, Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust and a private sector partner to develop and deliver state of the art community facilities closer to where people live and facilitate greater joined up service delivery.
The Department of Health and the local NHS retain a significant shareholding in the LIFT partnership to ensure transparency and value for money at all stages. Any benefits arising from this arrangement can also be reinvested in the local healthcare economy.
