Our response to NHS England specialised commissioning engagement

In response to NHS England consultation, we outline our expectations in terms of good consultation and engagement practice.

NHS England is consulting on the specialised service specifications and clinical policies. The consultation aims to ensure that service specifications and clinical policies reflect the priorities of the people using those services and gives providers the opportunity to prepare and feedback on proposed changes to services.

Rather than comment on each consultation, we submitted a general response that outlines our expectations in terms of good consultation and engagement practice. This includes:

  • Expectations around engagement

  • Engaging patients in the current consultations

  • Engaging patients in future consultations

  • Consultation periods.
