Central Allocation Team for Care and Health - Central Lancashire

Primary Care and Lancashire Teaching Hospitals work together to provide a community-based single point of access for health and social care intermediate care services. Central Allocation Team for Care and Health (CATCH) is a multi-disciplinary team who manage demand and oversee capacity within intermediate care.

Referrals can be made into the service every day between 8am-8pm by GPs, the Integrated Discharge Service, Integrated Care Teams and Social Workers and this helps to avoiding hospital admissions where they are not needed.
