answer text: NHS England has informed us that in line with the NHS England Standard Operating Procedure for Individual Funding Requests (IFRs), individual patient requests for specific procedures/treatments are considered by an IFR panel. In the event that the IFR panel does not agree funding of the procedure or treatment, either the patient or patient’s carer or their referring clinician may request a review of an IFR panel decision. Reviews are considered by the IFR review panel, which considers whether the process followed by the IFR panel: was consistent with the standard operating procedure for IFRs; took into account and weighed all relevant information; did not take into account irrelevant factors; indicated that the members of the IFR panel acted in good faith; and reached a decision that a reasonable IFR panel would be entitled to reach.
