<p>In England, services for patients with Phenylketonuria are provided via two routes,
nationally commissioned through the National Health Service and through local clinical
commissioning groups (CCGs), for example for food supplements.</p><p>The Government
and the NHS are dedicated to offering a consistent approach to treatment and provide
the best local care for patients with both, rare and common diseases. Services commissioned
locally through CCGs via sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) enable
service coordination across wider footprints. In England, the NHS Long Term Plan set
out the ambition for all STPs to evolve into integrated care systems (ICSs) by April
2021. ICSs are an ‘evolved’ form of a STP, making faster progress in integrating care
across their area, bringing together organisations to provide more seamless care for
patients<strong>. </strong></p>
