Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the PANS/PANDAS Working Group statement on medical guidelines published 24 February 2023; and whether it is his policy to endorse those guidelines for use in NHS settings.
We are aware of the recent guidance published by PANS PANDA UK. No assessment of existing policies against the new guidance has been made currently.
