Dear Mr Price,
 
Thank you for your correspondence of 17 July about providing transcranial magnetic stimulation sessions to more NHS hospitals and centres. I have been asked to reply and I apologise for the delay in doing so.

I hope you will appreciate that the role of the Department of Health and Social Care is to put in place a strategic framework for the NHS to work within and provide overall health service funding. Decisions about NHS services are essentially a matter for the NHS locally and the Department cannot intervene in individual cases. 

I would therefore suggest that you contact NHS England directly. The email address is england.contactus@nhs.net. Further information about contacting NHS England can be found at www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/.

Yours sincerely,


Correspondence Officer
