answer text <p>NHS England has committed to invest up to £12.7 million annually for the provision of sight tests and associated optical vouchers in special educational settings. This represents an approximate 87% increase compared to the current budget. This additional investment has the potential to increase coverage from 4% of special educational settings to 100%. This is a new additional budget for providing sight tests and vouchers in these settings, and so represents a recurrent increased investment in sight testing and the sight testing sector. Service delivery will continue within the proof-of-concept settings, to ensure continuity of service, whilst the required regulatory changes are laid in Parliament to underpin wider rollout during 2024/25.</p> more like this

answer text <p>NHS England's delegation agreement with the integrated care boards (ICBs) requires each ICB to establish effective, safe, efficient, and economic arrangements for the commissioning of delegated specialised services, with particular reference to statutory obligations relating to health and care bodies, such as the triple aim.</p><p>The delegation agreement supports these responsibilities, including following all relevant legislation, guidance, and good practice. In commissioning delegation specialised services, ICBs must: consider how they can meet their legal duties to involve patients and the public in shaping the provision of services; work with local communities, under-represented groups, and those with protected characteristics; consider how they can address health inequalities; assist in the development of national standards, including service specifications and clinical commissioning policies; support the development of local clinical leadership and expertise in respect of specialised services; support specialised clinical networks and clinical reference groups, including participating in development and agreement of the annual plan for relevant clinical networks; and work with providers as commissioners of specialised services, including management of contracts and the annual contracting round, financial management, and working with providers on identification and management of any issues relating to quality of services.</p><p>Appropriate oversight and assurance arrangements are in place to assure the commissioning capability and capacity of ICBs, and so that NHS England, as the accountable commissioner, has the right mechanisms where support or intervention is needed, regardless of whether a service is retained by NHS England or falls within scope of delegated commissioning arrangements.</p>
