Eleanor and Flor,
With the
greatest respect to you both, you are on the wrong track.
Italk24 is an app that can facilitate users that would like to record audio
messages instead of typing them. Handy for people with limited mobility in
their upper body and the older generation that can't text, they can send
messages to people in there contact list. It does not type the message, it's
just for audio.
It certainly cannot be compared to Siri, as you don't ask it questions or
commands.

Appeals process as of 4 February 2014 - policy ratified by CCG Governing Body
on this date.
If the patient is unhappy with the manner in which the policy has been applied
to their individual circumstances, the patient or their doctor is able to
appeal. Any such appeal will be heard at three difference steps as detailed
below.
The first step in the appeals process: If the patient indicates that he or she
wishes to appeal, it is for them or their clinician to set out the reasons for
their appeal in writing. The Panel Office Team should consider the appeal and
decide whether it discloses relevant and significant material or information
which was not originally before the Fortnightly Review Panel. If the appeal
does contain new relevant and significant material or information then the
Fortnightly Review Panel should reconsider the decision by taking it to the
next Fortnightly Review Panel meeting. If there is no additional information,
the Panel will not consider the case and write back to the referring clinician
and/or the patient refusing the funding.
The second step of the appeals process will be a 1:1 meeting with the
Fortnightly Review Chair and the patient. The Chair will attend the meeting
with a member of the Panel Office Team. For drug requests the Senior
Pharmacist will also attend this meeting. The patient is entitled to bring
along a family member or representative for this meeting. The purpose of the
meeting is for the Chair to explain the Commissioning Authority policy and
process, and the reasons that the Panel reached its decision. It also allows
the Chair to listen to the concerns of the patient and answer any queries they
may have. It also gives an opportunity for the patient to provide any new
information that was not presented to the Panel before. If, having met the
patient, the Chair considers that the Panel should reconsider the decision,
they will refer the case back to the Monthly Panel for reconsideration with any
new information they have gathered.
The third and final step within the appeals process is for the case to be
reviewed by the Commissioning Authority Appeals Committee. The patient has the
right to have the matter considered afresh by the Appeals Committee. All
members of the Appeals Committee should have had no prior involvement with the
case. The membership should consist of:
A Lay Member of the Commissioning Authority – Chair.
A GP or other relevant clinician, who is a member of the CCG.
Director of Public Health.
Director or Assistant Director of Commissioning.
The Appeals Committee is part of the corporate governance process of the
Commissioning Authority. Its role is to determine whether the Panel has
followed its own procedures, has properly considered the evidence presented to
it and has come to a reasonable decision upon the evidence.
The Appeals Committee shall consider all the papers which were before the Panel
and any further material provided by the patient or those acting on his or her
behalf. It shall hold a hearing at which the Panel Chair will make their case
for refusing funding and the patient and/or their representatives, eg clinician
shall be entitled to put their case for consideration by the Appeals Committee.
The Appeals Committee will be able to question the Panel Chair and the patient
(or representatives) to get more clarity about the case.
In reaching its decision, the Appeals Committee shall apply the same approach
and tests as set out in this policy.
The Appeals Committee will be able to uphold the patient’s appeal and shall
refer the case for reconsideration by the Panel, in the event that the Appeals
Committee considers that the Panel has:
failed in a material way to follow its own procedures; and/or
failed in a material way properly to consider the evidence presented to it (eg
by taking account of an immaterial fact or by failing to take account of a
material fact); and/or
come to a decision that no reasonable Panel could have come to on the evidence
before the panel.
The Appeals Committee shall not have power to authorise funding for the
requested treatment, but shall have the right to make recommendations to the
Panel and to request the Chair to take urgent decisions.
Any challenges to the Clinical Priorities Policies or statements will be
referred by the Appeals Committee to the Chair of the Clinical Policies Forum
to review the policy and request a report once the policy is reviewed.
All patients also have the option of putting in a formal complaint to the
Commissioning Authority concerning the policy, the process or the decision.
