NHS Norfolk ME and CFS Service Development Progress

August 15, 2013 by Robin Sansom

(This is from ‘ME Support Norfolk’ August newsletter)

Progress to date

A process has been adopted to ensure that patients or service users
and their carers are provided with an opportunity to shape the
development of the M.E. and CFS service in Norfolk and Suffolk
through co-producing key documents.

A Needs Assessment for Norfolk and Suffolk was produced by a
Public Health Consultant following an extensive literature review and
detailed discussions with local service users and their carers. This
Needs Assessment has formed the foundation for the establishment
of a new service specification.

The  new  service  specification  is  predicated  on a consultant-led
biomedical approach.

Separate pathways have been established for M.E. and CFS based on
different criteria. Diagnosis and management of M.E. and CFS will be separate.

This  specification  has  been  agreed  in  principle by  the CCG-led
Norfolk community collaborative commissioning group.

Next steps

The   specification   needs   to   be   further   validated   by   experienced
costs for the new service specification will have to be developed and
reviewed by CCGs.

A new Steering Group, supported by a wider Reference Group, is to
be established to ensure that the voices of patients, carers and
healthcare professionals can be heard.

An appropriate procurement process will be undertaken to secure
the agreed service.
