  • Clinical and non-clinical activities already commissioned or funded (except where they specify matched or shared funding as a condition of commissioning)
  • Duplicating commissioned services, where they are not commissioned.
  • Staff hardship
  • Staff training or benefits, except when such benefits will have a direct and beneficial impact on service users
  • Individual patient / service user hardship

Service users can contact hello@sidebysidenetwork.org if you prefer to talk to one of the service user members of the Charity Advisory Group about your idea first.
