Spending NHS money wisely phase 2 – tell us what you think

Have your say: Spending NHS money wisely 2 in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge

Earlier this year Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge (BHR) CCGs ran a consultation on ‘Spending NHS money wisely’, looking at how we can reduce spending locally.

That first set of changes – to NHS prescribing, gluten-free products, cosmetic procedures and IVF – should amount to around £3 million of savings this year.  

However, to get the local NHS into a secure financial position we have to make savings of £55 million and to do that we must look at further reducing spending now. That’s why we are asking for your help. 

In ‘Spending NHS money wisely 2’ we are looking at:

 No longer funding:

·        Ear wax removal

·        Some injections for lower back pain – disc, facet joint and epidural

·        Osteopathy

Restricting who is eligible for:

·        Cataract surgery

·        Podiatry

No longer prescribing some over the counter medicines, including:

  • Anti-malarial medicine
  • Probiotic supplements
  • Sunscreens, etc.

Please read the document that sets out our thinking and respond to our questionnaire by 5pm, 15 November 2017. These documents are available on our websites:
