C.We are seeking to understand the funding and delivery of Botox and anti-CGRP monoclonal antibody treatments (Ajovy, Aimovig, Emgality, Vyepti, Vydura & Aquipta) for migraine. Could you please answer the following:
•Does the trust commission/fund Botox treatment for migraine (Y/N)?
•Does the trust commission/fund anti-CGRP treatments for migraine (Y/N)?
•Does the trust actively provide Botox/anti-CGRP treatments for migraine as opposed to sending patients to another trust (Y/N)? In case the trust does not provide these treatments, please provide the name of the trust to which you refer migraine patients for these treatments?
•In case the trust actively provides Botox/anti-CGRP treatments for migraine but does not commission/fund them, then please provide the name(s) of the other NHS organisations that commission/fund these treatments at your trust.
There is no Neurology Services at East Lancashire NHS Trust. The Neurology Service is insourced by Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and so we are unable to provide a response for this question.
