Response
Inflammatory bowel disease is not currently one of the National Clinical Programmes. There are no plans to roll out a national programme of services for sufferers of inflammatory bowel disease.  The best option for service improvement and how it could be implemented nationally would benefit positively if it were part of a national initiative or other appropriate structure.
