<p>Quality standards (QS) 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 the National Institute
for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) QS in planning and delivering services, they
do not provide a comprehensive service specification and are not mandatory.</p><p>
</p><p>The NICE QS: Cerebral palsy in children and young people was published on 10
October 2017. This standard covers the diagnosis, assessment and management of cerebral
palsy and comprises four Quality Statements which describe high quality cerebral palsy
care that can be used for the measurement and improvement of services locally. These
statements are drawn from existing, evidence based guidance; in this case NICE’s cerebral
palsy clinical guideline, published in January 2017. Both the QS and guideline can
be found at the following links:</p><p><a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/qs162/resources/cerebral-palsy-in-children-and-young-people-pdf-75545597081797"
