Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy to adopt Allergy UK's Patient Charter as a plan for patient rights for people living with allergic conditions.
Answered by Will Quince
The majority of allergy services are commissioned locally by integrated care boards, with a small number of specialist allergy services for patients with complex and severe allergies commissioned nationally by NHS England. The service specification specifies that centres provide equity of access to best practice standards for diagnosis and management, based on current national and international guidelines.
The Department and NHS England continue to engage with stakeholders, including Allergy UK, to understand the needs of people with allergies and how services could be improved. This includes patient and public voice membership in NHS England’s clinical reference group which provides clinical advice and leadership on specialised immunology and allergy services.
