Centres of Excellence for Rare Diseases

Rare Disease UK launches a new report looking at Centres of Excellence for Rare Diseases. The report calls on UK health departments and NHS national commissioners to develop a clear definition of what a Centre of Excellence is and calls on the relevant NHS national commissioners in each devolved nation to designate and monitor these centres. [You can read the report here.](http://www.raredisease.org.uk/documents/Website%20Documents%20/centres-of-excellence-10-a4.pdf)
