Following the creation of the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Service in July, there are differences in some of the services that were offered by the old CCGs. The ICS is now reviewing these services to make them equal across mid and south Essex as part of its ‘service harmonisation’ work.
The ICS wants to hear from anyone who is currently affected by, or has previously been affected by, or has views about the following services:
- Weight loss surgery (bariatric Surgery)
- Correction for uneven breasts (breast asymmetry)
- Breast reduction
- Female sterilisation
- Male sterilisation (vasectomy)
- Special fertility services (tertiary fertility services) which includes the following treatments:
- Intra-uterine insemination (IUI)
- In vitro fertilisation (IVF), with or without intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
- Donor Insemination (DI)
- Sperm and oocyte donation (sperm and egg donation)
