Patient Choice Schemes
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will require Integrated Care Boards to establish a single point of contact for families affected by the pause of Right to Choose pathways.
Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed
Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning services to meet the health and care needs of their local population, including supporting children and young people waiting for assessment or treatment. While there are no plans to require ICBs to establish a single point of contact, they must ensure appropriate routes are in place for families to access accurate and timely information and support.
