Individual Funding Requests

The Individual Funding Request (IFR) process is in place to consider the NHS funding of treatments/interventions/therapies and surgery that is not routinely commissioned by Herefordshire & Worcestershire CCG. The clinician intending to provide this treatment/intervention should only make an application to the CCG after they have reviewed the current policy list.

An IFR application will be considered on the basis of the evidence supplied to confirm that the patient's clinical prestentation and circumstances are exceptional. If this is established, the Panel will review the evidence supplied to confirm the clinical efficacy of the requested treatment for the patient. If this second stage is confirmed, the Panel will then review the evidence of the financial efficacy of the requested treatment.
