Specialised health services recommendations 2019

Specialised health services recommendations 2019 
DHSC 24 May 2019

  • At its meeting in January the Prescribed Specialised Services Advisory Group (PSSAG) considered 2 services for recommendation to ministers on services that NHS England should commission.
    • Management of POEMS (polyneuropathy-organomegaly-endocrinopathy-M protein-skin lesions syndrome) - PSSAG will call for further information before NHS England could become responsible commissioner.
    • use of Voriconazole in patients with fungal asthma and Aspergillus bronchitis, including those with cystic fibrosis - PSSAG agreed that it would not be appropriate to recommend to NHS England to add this as a specialised service at this stage.
