COMMISSIONING THROUGH EVALUATION AND PATIENT ACCESS

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the work of NHS England's Commissioning through Evaluation programme in delivering life changing and potentially life-saving procedures to patients; notes with serious concern the plans to suspend patient access to procedures while NHS England conducts an assessment of data; is concerned about the lack of transparency around how long the assessment of data will take; and urgently calls on the Government and NHS England to accelerate the assessment of data and to ensure patients can access procedures while the assessment phase is ongoing.
