Since NHS England took on responsibility for specialised commissioning in April 2013, the specialised services Clinical Reference Groups have developed all clinical policies for specialised services. These clinical policies have all passed through the NHS England governance committees process, which is outlined in the answer I gave to the hon. Member on 3 November 2014 to Question 212409<\/a>.<\/p>

Clinical policies are developed by the appropriate service specific clinical reference group and reviewed by the Clinical Prioritisation Advisory Group (CPAG). CPAG then makes a recommendation whether to commission the service or treatment in question. CPAG recommendations are ratified by the Specialised Commissioning Oversight Group (SCOG).<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The length of time to produce a clinical commissioning policy is variable depending on the complexity of the subject area. The timeline is typically between 6-9 months but can be shorter.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

SCOG has operational oversight of specialised commissioning and has delegated authority to make decisions on the recommendations made by CPAG, which provides advice to NHS England about any decision-making that defines access to clinical services. The Directly Commissioned Services Committee, a sub-committee of the NHS England Board, oversees the delivery of directly commissioned services within the overall strategy set by NHS England. The SCOG reports to this committee.<\/p>
