Overview

NHS England has today (26 March 2015) launched a public consultation on proposed changes to its service specification for children’s epilepsy surgery services. This specification was first adopted in May 2013. Consultation will last for three months, between March 26 and 18 June 2015. An accompanying consultation guide has been produced, containing additional information about the rationale behind the proposed changes, and is intended to help those with an interest in these services to make an informed contribution to the consultation.
