On 19 April 2024, stakeholders were provided with an update on the Technical support services component of the CIED PL benefit. This included the Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) advice and associated public summary document.
We are inviting stakeholders to provide views, suggestions, and ideas on how to implement the MSAC advice about the cost of technical support services (TSS) for CIEDs. We ask that you raise any matters of concern or negative implications for your organisation, you and/or your sector.
We acknowledge the impact that amendments to the current funding model for these services could have on consumers, sponsors, technicians, and public and private healthcare and as such we are interested in understanding all perspectives on this matter. Please provide as much detail and evidence as possible about the impacts as well as any options for consideration.
Your feedback will be used to inform further stakeholder engagement as well as the development of options for implementation of the MSAC advice.
Stakeholders can find more information and submit responses via the the consultation hub. All feedback is requested by 5:00 pm on 6 September 2024.
