Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the (a) terms of reference and (b) timeframe is for the National Bowel and Bladder Product trial undertaken by NHS England; and if he will make a statement.

The National Bowel and Bladder Health (NBBH) Project was developed following a series of workshops held between members of the Excellence in Continence (EICC) Board and the All Parliamentary Group on continence in 2018, with the aim of aligning objectives across existing initiatives to support the delivery of the Excellence in Continence Care Programme. The NBBH Project terms of reference, with oversight from the EICC Board, are being reviewed and updated by workstream membership with an expectation that they will be finalised by the next EICC board meeting in December when timeframes for delivery will also be confirmed.
