Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will list all the highly specialised services that are currently commissioned (a) regionally and (b) locally by NHS England.

Highly specialised services are commissioned by NHS England as part of its responsibilities for prescribed specialised services. This function is undertaken by NHS England’s national highly specialised services team which is supported by regional commissioners covering each area of the country. The responsibility for highly specialised services has not been delegated to integrated care boards as part of the programme of delegation of specialised services.
