Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 29 January 2021 to Question 142842 on Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Medical Treatments, what the timeframe is for the NHS RightCare inflammatory bowel disease scenario to be released to stakeholders for consultation.
Progress on the inflammatory bowel disease RightCare scenario has been delayed due to COVID-19 pressures. A working draft has been reviewed and commented on by NHS England and NHS Improvement’s working group and by Crohn’s and Colitis UK. NHS England and NHS Improvement are in the process of updating the original working draft based on these comments. It is anticipated that a revised version will be ready to be share with IBD UK and their partner organisations for consultation in May.
