Why it’s important
Individual Funding Requests (IFR) play a key role in ensuring patients receive the care they need when standard pathways aren’t suitable. With a new draft process policy document in development and a growing need for a consistent approach across multiple ICBs, it’s vital for everyone involved to understand the process, tackle challenges, and clarify key issues, leading to continued and sustained improvement in IFR delivery
