Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can usually be managed through routine access to primary or secondary care. For those patients with the most serious forms of HS, who cannot be managed in this way, a referral to an appropriate specialised service may be appropriate.<\/p>

<\/p>

The list of specialised dermatology providers for both in-patient and out-patient care is attached.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England commissions specialised services for people with rare and complex skin conditions and has set out what providers must have in place in order to offer specialist dermatology care. The level of service provision nationally is based on an assessment of the likely patient population who will need to access specialised care. It is estimated that about 10% of patients requiring dermatology services (about 10,000 each year) need care from specialised dermatology centres.<\/p>

The majority of patients with HS can be managed through routine access to primary and secondary care, including dermatology clinics, which is responsibility of the local National Health Service commissioners.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) affects around 90,000 people in England. The Department\u2019s National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Network (CRN) is providing research infrastructure to enable molecular genetic analysis of HS, although expenditure on this cannot be disaggregated from total CRN spend.<\/p>

<\/p>


Information on the diagnosis, treatment care and support of patients with HS can be found on the NHS Choices website. This also provides links to the British Association of Dermatologists, which has produced a patient information leaflet on HS, and the HS Trust, which is the United Kingdom\u2018s leading charity for the condition.

In terms of the care pathway for the condition, HS can usually be managed with treatments including antibiotics, antiseptic washes and immunosuppressive treatments such as steroids or ciclosporin, which a general practitioner may prescribe.

For those patients with the most serious forms of HS who cannot be managed through routine access treatments provided through primary or secondary care, a referral to a specialised dermatology service may be appropriate. NHS England commissions services for people with rare and complex skin conditions and has set out what providers must have in place in order to offer specialist dermatology care. These services may provide more intensive therapies with a involvement of a range of health and care professionals, subject to that patient\u2019s needs.

The Department does not hold data on spending on individual dermatological conditions. However, the latest NHS Programme Budgeting data, which is for 2012-13, shows that the total spend on dermatology (excluding burns) was £1.98 billion.<\/p>
