Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many cough assist machines clinical commissioning groups have funded for patients with muscular dystrophy and neuromuscular conditions in the last 12 months.
The Department does not hold figures on the number of cough assist machines clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have funded for patients with muscular dystrophy and neuromuscular conditions in the last 12 months. Funding for cough assist machines is a matter for individual CCGs taking into account the individual circumstances of each patient.
