In relation to the particular query raised, the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) has advised my Department that it does not currently procure any Outpatient consultations or Inpatient/Daycase procedures relating to weight management.
At any time the NTPFs ability to provide a service is subject to capacity in the private and public sectors. A new NTPF framework agreement will be procured in 2025 and consultation will be undertaken at that stage to understand capacity with every successful framework member.
