Residential Pain Management

Not Routinely Funded

Residential pain management programmes are not routinely commissioned or funded by Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (ICB)

Cases for individual Funding Consideration

On a case by case basis, patients might be eligible for surgical intervention, in consideration of their exceptionality. The requesting clinician must provide information to support the case for being considered an exception, by submitting an individual funding request. This procedure has been assessed as a low clinical priority by the Norfolk and Waveney ICB and will not be funded unless there are exceptional clinical circumstances.  

Commissioning responsibility for residential pain management programmes under some circumstances is with NHS England Specialised Commissioning.
