Have you taken highly specialised services into account in the modelling?

HEE appreciate the highly specialised services that are provided in certain areas and how they serve a much larger geographical population.  The proportion of highly specialised commissioning services have been explored for all specialties and a weighting has been applied within the modelling. The workstream listened to the concerns and knowledge of our stakeholders in this regard and applied this weighting following discussions with our specialist groups. This weighting reflects and recognises that some areas provide these low volume/high complexity services and consequently reduces the number of posts being redistributed from them.
