<p>The majority of allergy services are commissioned locally by integrated care boards,
with a small number of specialist allergy services for patients with complex and severe
allergies commissioned nationally by NHS England. The service specification specifies
that centres provide equity of access to best practice standards for diagnosis and
management, based on current national and international guidelines.</p><p>The Department
and NHS England continue to engage with stakeholders, including Allergy UK, to understand
the needs of people with allergies and how services could be improved. This includes
patient and public voice membership in NHS England’s clinical reference group which
provides clinical advice and leadership on specialised immunology and allergy services.</p>
