No recent discussions have taken place.
The majority of services for people with Tourette syndrome are commissioned locally by integrated care boards (ICBs). ICBs are best placed to make decisions regarding the provision of health services to their local population, including for the treatment of Tourette syndrome, subject to local prioritisation and funding.
