Fractures: Medical Treatments
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the level of regional disparity in successful funding applications for Exogen Ultrasound Bone Healing System treatment for NHS patients.
- Answer
-
Responsibility for commissioning and funding treatment using the Exogen Ultrasound Bone Healing System lies with local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs).
Information on funding applications for this treatment is not collected centrally and no assessment has been made of any regional disparity in successful funding applications.
CCGs are expected to take account of guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the health needs and priorities of their local populations, when determining the range and level of services they provide.
