Please could you send me copies of your commissioning policies for weight loss and obesity management/pathways together with copies of any Equality Impact Assessments/Equality and Health Inequality Impact Assessments that were undertaken in respect of these policies?
I already have access to this public facing information: Weight management in Greater Manchester | Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership.
I would like the information for academic research into the Public Sector Equality Duty/Health Inequalities Duties.
I am conscious that there has been recent reorganisation of ICBs/ICSs so please send any relevant current policies owned by the partnership/cluster.
NHS Greater Manchester holds the following documents relevant to this request:
No Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) or Equality and Health Inequality Impact Assessment (EHIA) was undertaken specifically for the Greater Manchester Weight Management Clinical Pathway. The pathway is based on NICE guideline NG246 (Overweight and obesity management).
The Greater Manchester commissioning statement for tirzepatide is based on NHS England’s interim commissioning guidance for the implementation of NICE Technology Appraisal TA1026. The Clinical Portfolio does not hold any EQIA or EHIA specific to this document.
