Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will amend the NHS Constitution to ensure that rehabilitation is seen as the third pillar of healthcare.

The Government will shortly be consulting on specific changes to the NHS Constitution, in addition to seeking views on the NHS Constitution as a whole. Feedback submitted will be considered during the post-consultation review. The Government will endeavour to issue a response 12 weeks after the consultation has closed.
