Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 22 July 2020.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to make robotic spinal surgery for scoliosis be available through the NHS.
Robotic spinal surgery for scoliosis is not currently commissioned by NHS England. NHS England has advised that this will be reviewed if there is an application presented by a clinical lead, with published evidence demonstrating its effectiveness. For a procedure or treatment to become more widely available for use in the National Health Service, high equality evidence on its efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness would be needed.
