Individual Funding Requests
Some services (procedures or drugs) are not normally available on the NHS or not commissioned locally, or your patient may fall outside the criteria set for the treatment.
However, in certain circumstances they may be able to submit an individual funding request (IFR) for their case to be considered by the ICB.
The IFR form should be completed by the relevant supporting clinician for the patient. Depending on the circumstances this clinician MAY be the GP. In which case the GP should complete the form for the patient.
