NHS chiefs and senior medics at the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges have drawn up the list
that the health service “aims to give patients the most effective treatments possible at an affordable price for taxpayers", and that the NHS"routinely assess and change services to make sure they are as efficient as possible".
Academy of Medical Royal Colleges chairman, Professor Dame Helen Stokes-Lampard, said:"Any money saved from procedures which the evidence tells us are no longer clinically appropriate is spent on procedures which are. Medicine is constantly evolving and the Evidence-based Interventions programme is about capturing those clinical advances and making sure we offer the best and most appropriate care to the greatest number of people.
“In short, this programme is about making sure we don’t waste money doing things that don’t work and we are instead redirecting that cash towards those things that are proven to be beneficial.” The NHS and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges said that reducing spending on certain surgeries gives the opportunity to redirect more money towards surgeries that are proven more beneficial. In 2020, they suggested the removal of 31 procedures including imaging of lower-back pain.
