Sickle Cell Diseases
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has taken recent steps to ensure that sickle cell patients receive their first dose of pain relief within 30 minutes of being treated.
- Answer
-
No specific assessment has been made.
Specialist haemoglobinopathy teams (SHTs) and haemoglobinopathy co-ordinating centres (HCCs) are required to submit data via the Specialised Services Quality Dashboard on the percentage of patients given pain relief within 30 minutes of presentation with a sickle cell crisis, as per the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines. The data does not include patients attending non-specialist haemoglobinopathy providers and further work is required to improve the accuracy of the data submission before it can be used to assess compliance.
