These services are commissioned on behalf of all patients that require them, which would include people living with sickle cell disease.</p><p>NHS England has recently undertaken a review of haemoglobinopathy services to ensure that patients living with conditions such as sickle cell disease are able to access the high-quality services they need for their condition across the country. NHS England is now commissioning a networked-based model of care for specialised haemoglobinopathy services which will included specialist haemoglobinopathy teams across the country, regional haemoglobinopathy coordination centres and a National Haemoglobinopathy Panel. The new model will enable advice to be provided to local clinicians on the management of patients with sickle cell disease 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Haemoglobinopathy coordination centres will organise and run networks for sickle cell disease, providing leadership and education for local services.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 19/07/2019 09:45:39 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
