Dear FOI, Mseicb (NHS MID AND SOUTH ESSEX ICB - 99E),
(A) Thank you for confirming, what the ICS commissions as
i"Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT)
ii, Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT)
iii, Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT)"
(B) What does the ICS mean by “non-commissioned service providers" that is ALL service...
"This simply refers to Service Providers that are not specifically contracted through a standard
contract with the MSE ICS"
Previously the ICB has said in response 2223139 on 12-12-2022
"if the service is not commissioned, an Individual Funding Request Form is required.
Exceptionality needs to be demonstrated in order for us to fund something
that is currently not commissioned"
Can the ICS please now confirm
[1 ] That a referral to an NHS (secondary care mental health) service provider in England other than one of the three providers the ICS has named above in (A) would require an IFR showing exceptionality?
[2] The fact that ALL other NHS service providers in England have commissioning contacts with at least one ICS's does not change MSEICS's need for IFR showing exceptionality?
Yours sincerely,
iain gordon

Dear FOI, Mseicb (NHS MID AND SOUTH ESSEX ICB - 99E),
You have stated the ICB position clearly,
Thefact its not following thel aw on choice is another matter
Yours sincerely,
iain gordon
Dear NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board's handling of my FOI request 'Secondary care mental health service providers commissioned'.
I past your recent responses to NHS England on choice, NHS England choices have told me what you have stated in the FOI reply is not what has been agreed with your commisioners and NHS England.
The body says you need an IFR with exceptionality for choice beyond the services that the body commissions even if the service have a commisioning contract with another commisioning body.
As i previously stated the FOI reply from the body is not following satute law or NHS England guidance on choice.
1, So who is right the bodies FOI or NHS England?
2, And if you are not right why have you been feeding me false information for more than a year?
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
