Question 3

Tier 2 weight management services, that are typically delivered in neighbourhood health centres or similar are funded and managed by Public Health. The ICB does not have this detail. 

We are engaging with HIN and other academic networks as part of the Innovate UK OPIP bid. However, we are unable to disclose this as it is part of an active, competitive bid (FOI Exemption 43 applied).

Question 4

The ICBs allocation is not split at a service code level so the question on ringfenced budgets is not applicable. Below is the 23/24 and 24/25 expenditure


NHS Trusts reported for BLMK patients (TFC: 300), HRG sub chapters which would be irrelevant to weight management have been excluded:


2024/25

Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic System - £1,510,341
Musculoskeletal System - £5,551,878
