uin	65673
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2017 answer text <p>In order for NHS England to formally consider a new or revised service specification, a number of associated reports and processes need to be completed. The Complex Gynaecological Services Clinical Reference Group (CRG) did start the process of developing a new service specification for ovarian cancer, however, this did not progress through the process. This was due to technical difficulties encountered during the Impact Assessment stage and included issues in identifying activity and the associated financial impact.</p><p> </p><p>In the subsequent period, CRGs have been restructured and the responsibility for this clinical area now resides with the Specialised Cancer Surgery CRG, within the National Cancer Programme of Care. In addition, NHS England has also published a revised process for service specification development (titled: ‘Methods’), which can be found at:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/commissioning/spec-services/key-docs/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/commissioning/spec-services/key-docs/</a></p><p> </p><p>The Methods sets out the process for completing service specification work and, in accordance with this process, the Specialised Cancer Surgery CRG has been asked to consider progressing this work. The CRG Chair is due to discuss the matter with a representative of the Gynaecology CRG later this week and, following this, it is expected that the first step of the process will be completed by the middle of March 2017.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 02/03/2017 11:10:35 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat
