Population covered. NHS England commissions the service for the population of England. Commissioning on behalf of other devolved administrations is reviewed annually, and a current list is available from NHS England commissioners or via the website. At the moment, NHS England contract includes provision for the service to treat eligible overseas patients under S2 [Under European Union (EU) regulations, patients can be referred for state funded treatment to another European Economic Area (EEA) member state or Switzerland, under the form S2 (for EU member states) or the form E112 (for Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland)] referral arrangements. Providers are reimbursed for appropriately referred and recorded activity as part of the NHS England contract. Trusts performing procedures on EU-based patients outside of S2 arrangements will need to continue to make the financial arrangements directly with the governments involved, separately from their contract with the NHS England. With regard to S2, the mechanism for recovery of costs has been via the Department for Work and Pensions Overseas Healthcare Team. They are responsible for agreeing reconciliation and recovery of costs with European administrations. These arrangements were implemented in October 2009, though a similar process existed previously. The financial flows are therefore back into the treasury rather than back to trusts. The report “Allocation of organs to non-UK EU residents” includes a recommendation that the NHS England should take over all arrangements between national EU governments and NHS trusts in England for the provision of liver transplant services for EU-based patients and that these transplants should be undertaken as part of the annual funding contract NHS trusts have with NHS England. This recommendation has not been implemented and is currently being considered by the Department of Health as part of a wider review of eligibility, allocation and funding of deceased organs donated for transplantation.
