NHS England board meeting 24 May 2018
Extract from report of meeting 23 April 2018
Decommissioning in specialised services
4. The Committee received an update on a proposal to undertake work on decommissioning within specialised commissioning, which is designed to ensure that NHS resources are more effectively focused on clinical interventions of proven value, by reducing ineffective care and unwarranted variations in care. Published evidence suggests that success will rely on a multi-agency approach which, in the context of specialised interventions, will include amongst others: clinical leaders, NICE and the National Institute for Health Research.
