uin	164432
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2018 answer text <p>On 28 June 2018, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published a new Quality Standard (QS) on spondyloarthritis. QSs are important in setting out to patients, the public, commissioners and providers what a high-quality service should look like in a particular area of care. Whilst providers and commissioners must have regard to NICE QSs in planning and delivering services, they do not provide a comprehensive service specification and implementation of QSs is not mandatory.</p><p> </p><p>The way NICE was established in legislation means that its guidance is officially for England only. However, NICE has agreements to provide certain NICE products and services to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Decisions on how NICE guidance is applied in these countries are made by the devolved administrations.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 19/07/2018 15:15:00 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
