Paralysis: Medical Treatments
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that NHS patients can access spinal implants to help paralysed patients walk again.
- Answer
-
Spinal cord injury services are directly commissioned by NHS England and services are provided by spinal cord injuries centres. There is no current policy in development for spinal implants. However, where a spinal implant is considered clinically appropriate, a clinical lead would submit a request in the usual way.
