Stoma Appliances
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of centrally coordinating stoma services.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
Integrated care boards (ICBs) are legally responsible for commissioning the majority of health services, including stoma services, in accordance with their populations’ health needs. There are currently no plans for centrally coordinating stoma services and we expect ICBs to continue commissioning stoma services for their local populations.
