<p>The Department does not directly set the scope of the Getting It Right First Time
(GIRFT) programme as it sits within NHS England’s formal structure. The scope of workstreams
for the programme is directed by NHS England, in discussion with key stakeholders.</p><p>The
programme undertakes clinically led reviews of specialties, including musculoskeletal
(MSK) services. These reviews combine wide-ranging data and analysis with the input
and expertise of senior clinicians to examine effectiveness of current services and
identify opportunities for improvement.</p><p>In 2021, NHS England launched The BestMSK
Health Collaborative, which aimed to recover and rebuild high-quality, high-value
personalised MSK provision, integrated across primary, community and secondary care
and with mental health, social services and third sector organisations. This programme
closed at the end of September 2022, and key workstreams were subsumed by the GIRFT
programme from October.</p>
