NHS Funding Appeals
With new and better treatments being developed every day, the National Health Service is coming under increasing pressure to allocate its limited resources to those who are most in need.
NHS Trusts often have to make difficult decisions about whether to provide funding for new and often expensive treatments. The procedures for making these decisions are complex and sometimes wrong decisions are reached. If the wrong procedure has been followed, or simply if the wrong decision has been made, this can be challenged in order to secure funding for the treatment.
Examples of funding decisions which can be challenged are:
- Decisions not to fund cancer or palliative treatment
- Decisions not to fund new / unapproved / expensive treatment
- Decisions not to fund cosmetic surgery
- Decisions to cut health services or hospital closures
