It recommends semaglutide as a treatment option for patients that meet specified eligibility criteria, and recommends that the treatment is provided within specialist weight management services. These services are typically provided in secondary rather than primary care settings. The Government is committed to the safe introduction of new weight loss drugs into the National Health Service, and is exploring ways to increase access to more people, who meet the relevant eligibility criteria.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 28/03/2024 13:23:44 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2023 answer text <p>The Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme (HTCS) provides financial assistance to eligible patients, namely those in receipt of a qualifying benefit or through the NHS Low Income Scheme, who require assistance with travel costs incurred in travelling to receive certain services within the National Health Service. The scheme is not for patients who have a medical need for transport and their journey must meet certain criteria, for example, it must not be for primary medical or primary dental care services. Eligible patients are reimbursed in part or in full, depending upon their entitlement. The National Health Service (Travel Expenses and Remission of Charges) Regulations 2003, as amended, that provide for the HTCS state that NHS travel expenses to be reimbursed must be calculated by reference to the cost of the cheapest means of transport that is reasonable, having regard to the patient’s relevant circumstances, for example, age, medical condition and any other relevant factor.</p><p>Further information can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/help-with-health-costs/healthcare-travel-costs-scheme-htcs/" target="_blank">https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/help-with-health-costs/healthcare-travel-costs-scheme-htcs/</a></p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 23/11/2023 16:18:51 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
