answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2016 answer text <p>Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can usually be managed through routine access to primary or secondary care. For those patients with the most serious forms of HS who cannot be managed in this way, a referral to a specialised service may be appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England commissions specialised services for people with rare and complex skin conditions and has set out what providers must have in place in order to offer specialist dermatology care. The level of service provision nationally is based on an assessment of the likely patient population who will need to access specialised care. It is estimated that about 10% of patients requiring dermatology services (about 10,000 each year) need care from specialised dermatology centres.</p><p> </p><p>Specialised services may provide more intensive therapies with the involvement of a range of health and care professionals, subject to a patient’s needs.
