Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the performance of commissioning support units in managing backlogs in applications for Continuing Healthcare Retrospective Review claims.
My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State has not made any assessment of the performance of commissioning support units in managing backlogs in applications for NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC) retrospective reviews.
Clinical commissioning groups hold the statutory responsibility for commissioning NHS services for their populations, including NHS CHC.
