The Department has not undertaken an assessment for the Surrey Health constituency specifically.

A revised service specification for hyperbaric oxygen services in England was subjected to stakeholder testing in July 2024, and public consultation took place during September 2024.

NHS England published the feedback received in November 2024, which is available at the following link:

The updated service specification was published in January 2025, and is available at the following link:
