Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of the provision of mental health support for people with Huntingdon's disease.

There are no plans to make a specific assessment. However, we will review the specification for the Clinical Genomic Service, which offers specialised neurology services for people with Huntington’s disease. This will include improving access to mental health services. The revised specification will be subject to public consultation before receiving final approval. In addition, the neuropsychiatry service specification is in development, which will outline the multi-disciplinary approach to caring for patients with complex neurological conditions who require specialised assessment and mental health support.
