<\/p>

The Prescribed Specialised Services Advisory Group (PSSAG) is a Department of Health expert committee which provides advice to Ministers on which services should be prescribed in regulations for national commissioning by the NHS Commissioning Board (NHS England).<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

PSSAG makes recommendations to Ministers, who are obliged under section 3B of the National Health Service Act 2006 to take appropriate advice and to consult with NHS England before making regulations to prescribe particular services as specialised services for NHS England commissioning. Decisions on the timing of any changes to commissioning responsibilities will take account of advice from PSSAG and any consultation response from NHS England.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Where a service is prescribed for national commissioning, NHS England becomes responsible for making decisions on the commissioning of that service, including funding of specific interventions as part of that service. We understand from NHS England that where it becomes the responsible commissioner for a service, it considers the funding priority of the service through its Clinical Priorities Advisory Group.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We understand the Alpha 1 Alliance has worked with NHS England and the Specialised Respiratory Clinical Reference Group to develop a proposal for the national commissioning of services for patients with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, which will be put to PSSAG for consideration at its next meeting on 30 September. A report containing PSSAG\u2019s recommendations will be published once Ministers have made decisions on any associated changes.<\/p>

This information is not available. Although some information on post-operative complications experienced by osteoporosis patients following surgery of the hip and knee is available via the Health and Social Care Information Centre\u2019s Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) data collection, this only covers hip and knee replacement, and not the full range of surgical interventions. In addition to this, as PROMs is a voluntary reporting system the data published does not reflect the total number of osteoporosis patients having complications for all hip and knee replacements. More information on PROMS data can be found at the following link:<\/p>

The Electoral Commission informs me that the confirmation dry run involved matching all entries on the electoral registers against the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Customer Information System database. Entries would be marked as green if they matched with DWP, amber if they were a partial match or red if there was no match.<\/p>
