Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to his delivery plan for recovering urgent and emergency care services, whether his Department plans to implement the recommendations of the Making Community Rehabilitation Data Count report published by the Community Rehabilitation Alliance in November 2022.

The delivery plan for recovering urgent and emergency care services was published on 30 January and set out a number of commitments to support improvements to waiting times and patient experience. The plan commits to improving data across health and social care, including making more data available to the public to ensure greater transparency.

Ensuring availability of high-quality data to drive local service improvement and commissioning decisions and improve outcomes for people receiving a rehabilitation service is an important area of focus and NHS England will work closely with the Community Rehabilitation Alliance to progress work in this area.
