Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to commission the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence to develop guidance and quality statements for local authority tertiary preventative services, including for specialist services such as vision rehabilitation.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) guidelines and quality standards cover the full patient pathway. NICE has issued a number of guidelines and quality standards that include recommendations that relate to local authority tertiary preventative services where relevant.
