NHSE Consultation on investing in specialised commissioning

From the NHS England website:

“NHS England is consulting on a proposed set of principles which will underpin the future decision making process for investment in specialised services. The consultation document also outlines the characteristics of the process NHS England will use to make these decisions.

In conducting a full public consultation, NHS England is seeking to ensure that the principles and characteristics for making decisions on investing in specialised services are well informed, evidence-led and in line with the expectations of patients and the public.”

Fine principles, but the detail of the methods are just as important.  Where are those?

The consultation closes on 27th April 2015.
