We’ve policies about treatments funded by
the NHS in Luton in line with priorities for local people. We’ve a process that allows GPs to apply on
behalf of patients, where there are exceptional circumstances, for them to
receive treatment not normally funded.
As you can imagine, this can be a legal minefield.
Today I attended an annual training session for
the clinicians and managers from the CCG who sit on the panel, which makes
decisions on these individual treatment funding requests. Always difficult decisions, as they affect
individuals, but this training will help ensure we make them fairly and
legally.
