Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that specialist medical services are accessible in all regions of England.
This question was answered on 16th January 2023
NHS England and integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning and ensuring healthcare needs of local communities are met. Specialised services may be located in specialised hospitals because they are capable of recruiting a team of staff with the appropriate expertise to perform the required treatments.
