By NHS England
NHS England has today published 37 nationally consistent commissioning policies as part of its role as a direct commissioner for some non-specialised services. The policies, which are interim at this stage, are of particular benefit to the armed forces and health and justice populations as members of these communities are subject to changes in location which may disrupt the provision of their healthcare. All of the policies will be subject to further review by NHS England’s Clinical Reference Groups, and will be subject to full public consultation next year.
