	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>NHS England works in partnership with local commissioners and providers to ensure people with long-term conditions, such as hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), are supported to live healthily and independently and are empowered to take better control over the care they receive.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The majority of patients with HS can be managed through routine access to primary and secondary care, including dermatology clinics, which is responsibility of the local National Health Service commissioners. Treatment and management of the condition involves antibiotics, antiseptic washes and immunosuppressive treatments such as steroids or ciclosporin, which a general practitioner may prescribe.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>For those patients with the more serious forms of HS, referral to a specialised dermatology service may be appropriate. NHS England commissions services for people with rare and complex skin conditions, including HS, and has set out what providers must have in place in order to offer specialist dermatology care. This supports equity of access to a high quality service for patients wherever they live. These services may provide more intensive therapies with the involvement of a range of health and care professionals, subject to a patient’s needs. More information can be found by viewing the specialised dermatology service specification at the following link:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/a12-spec-dermatology.pdf" target="_blank">www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/a12-spec-dermatology.pdf</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison grouped question UIN 10011 question first answered 16/09/2015 11:46:53 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2015 answer text <p>Trusts are obliged to charge the National Health Service the cost of the implantable devices on a pass through basis, i.e. the cost invoiced by the supplier of the device. The average prices have been issued to commissioners to help them assess value for money on device expenditure and identify potential areas for future efficiency improvements. NHS England’s current approach is not to impose a ceiling price however; we will be working closely with providers where they are not taking advantage of current market rates for devices.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 11/06/2015 10:45:13 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer
