Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 3 June 2020 to Question 47250 on Dyslexia: Diagnosis, what his policy is on identifying and diagnosing dyslexia in the adult population.

The NHS.UK website advises that adults who wish to be assessed for dyslexia should contact a local or national dyslexia association for advice.

NHS England allocates funding to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) which commission services on behalf of their local populations. It is for CCGs to decide how best to use the funding allocated to them in line with local healthcare needs and priorities, working with other local commissioners and organisations.
