Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will instruct NHS trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups to start compiling data on the numbers of children with incontinence problems.

There are no plans to instruct National Health Service trust and clinical commissioning groups to collect data on the children with incontinence problems.

However, as part of business planning for 2018/19, Public Health England is reviewing whether the new section dedicated to child and maternal health on their Fingertips digital platform would be a suitable place to make data about childhood continence available at a local level.
