About us
BASH CIC was formerly known as MEEBBB Health CIC, has been established for 12 years, and employs a number of staff for member practices. In 2010 the then Primary Care Trust, Local Medical Council and GP surgeries in Tower Hamlets set up Networks composed of member practices linked to a Network Incentive Scheme (NIS) as a contract for additional work over and above their standard GP contracts; this has now changed to the LES (Local Enhanced Services). The reason for establishing the PCNs was due to the high levels of deprivation in the borough, and to address the chronic underfunding in primary care

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
