Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the cost is to the NHS of patients moving from requiring tier 3 to tier 4 weight management services.
This question was answered on 23rd November 2021
It is not possible to estimate the cost of moving patients treated in Tier 3 services to management under Tier 4 from existing data. There are currently no national tariffs for Tier 3 specialist weight management services and national tariffs for bariatric surgery vary dependent on the type of procedure.
