Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many S2 funding applications were approved in (1) NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board, and (2) NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board, in (a) 2019, (b) 2020, (c) 2021, and (d) 2022.
NHS England administers the Planned Treatment Scheme (S2) for residents of England. The Integrated Care Boards (Establishment) Order 2022 legally established 42 integrated care boards (ICB) with effect from 1 July 2022, therefore the following table can only provide information for two ICB’s showing the number of S2’s approved. Exact numbers have not been provided to prevent the identification of individual patients.
| Number of S2’s approved between 1 July 2022 to 31 December 2022 |
NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board | Five or less |
NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board | Five or less |
