  1. Influencing specialised commissioning Responding to the consultation on service specifications and clinical policies Alastair Kent OBE Director Genetic Alliance UK Genetic Alliance UK webinar Wednesday 19th December 2012

  2. Overview • Specialised commissioning from April 2013. • Consultation on service specifications and clinical policies. • Two example service specifications. • The preimplantation genetic diagnosis policy. • Tips for your response.

  3. Specialised commissioning from April 2013

  4. Specialised commissioning from April 2013 Many unknowns! • End to postcode lotteries and regional variation? • Commissioning once: national efficiencies? • Levelling up, not a levelling down? • Transition is occurring very quickly, too quickly? Always important to speak up.

  5. Specialised commissioning from April 2013Service specifications under consultation Developed by clinical reference groups (CRGs) with membership: • Clinical chair. • Commissioner. • Patient and public engagement members. • Clinicians. • Public health clinician. 12 months to prepare these. Asked to be cost neutral as far as possible.

  6. Consultation on service specifications and clinical policies Specialised services are broken down into five areas: • Area A – Internal medicine (digestion, renal, hepatobiliary, and circulatory system) • Area B – Cancer and blood (infection, cancer, immunity and haematology) • Area C – Mental health • Area D – Trauma (traumatic injury, orthopaedics, head and neck, and rehabilitation) • Area E – Women and children (women and children, and congenital and inherited diseases) All of these areas contain some service specifications relevant to our members.

  7. Consultation on service specifications and clinical policies What to look for when examining the service specifications. Two examples: • Specification E1: Medical Genetics • Specification E6b: Specialised services for Inherited Metabolic Disorders (paediatrics) (Both under Area E.)

  20. New PGD Policy Document E1 Clinical commissioning policy Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (Under Area E) • Until April 2013 PGD is commissioned locally. • This policy brings PGD into the Medical Genetics specification, and into national specialised commissioning. • All eligible patients may have 3 cycles of PGD on the NHS. • Eligibility is not based on condition. • Based on clinically proven criteria. • We need to support this!

  21. Tips for your response • Establish why your voice is important. • Only cover the topics you want to. • Tell them which topics they have missed. • Give them evidence to back up your point. • Be clear and concise. • Lay out your document well. • Make it as easy as possible for them to “get it”. • Ask a “lay” person to read it. • No need to use the form!

  22. No need to use the online form! The online form only allows you to discuss a single service specification at a time. If you wish to discuss more than one, this is best done in a document, which you can send here: ssc.consultation@nhs.net It is important to include the following details: • Your name. • Your email address. • The organisation you are representing (if applicable). • The services specification(s) that you are referring to.
