NHS England has a published process for considering and prioritising the introduction of new treatments for Specialised Commissioning services. Treatments for Brain / Central Nervous System cancers are commissioned by Specialised Commissioning and the current service specification and clinical commissioning policies can be found on NHS England’s webpage for the Specialised Cancer Surgery Clinical Reference Group.
