Written Question
Parkinson's Disease: Nurses
Wednesday 24th April 2024

Asked by: Julian Sturdy (Conservative - York Outer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to ensure that Parkinson’s specialist nurses are retained in the profession.

Answered by Andrew Stephenson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

Under the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, backed by more than £2.4 billion over the next five years, the National Health Service will focus on expanding the number of clinicians, including nurses, who train to take up enhanced and advanced roles, and work as part of multidisciplinary teams with the right skills to meet the changing needs of patients. The ambition is to train at least 3,000 advanced practitioners in 2024 and 2025 across all specialties, and to increase the number in training to 5,000 a year by 2029. The Long Term Workforce Plan also sets out actions and reforms needed to improve workforce supply and retention.

Parkinson's Disease: Health Services
Tuesday 23rd April 2024

Asked by: Julian Sturdy (Conservative - York Outer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department has taken to improve care for people with Parkinson's disease.

Answered by Andrew Stephenson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

I would like to thank my Honourable friend who is a tireless campaigner on this issue.
NHS England’s RightCare toolkit and Getting It Right First Time programme aim to improve care for people with Parkinson’s by reducing variation and delivering care more equitably across England.
A new treatment for advanced-stage Parkinson’s was rolled out in the NHS earlier this year. Tomorrow, the Secretary of State is also meeting the Movers and Shakers, a group of broadcasters and public figures living with Parkinson’s, to discuss their ‘Parky Charter’.
