Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when the review of the National Peer Review Programme's priorities will be reported; and what plans there are to continue that programme's review of children and young people's paediatric diabetes services in 2015 and 2016.

Answer

We are advised that NHS England is currently reviewing the national peer review programme with a view to considering how its success might be extended into other new areas of specialised commissioning.

Regardless of the outcome of this review, cancer peer review will continue to play a critical part of any broader peer review programme NHS England may look to introduce. NHS England is currently building co-commissioning arrangements with Clinical Commissioning Groups and future programmes of work could be agreed - these may include Paediatric Diabetes.
