(asked on 18th October 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment her Department has made of the level of prioritisation of multiple sclerosis and neurology within the strategic planning documents of each of England’s 42 Integrated Care Systems.
This question was answered on 24th October 2022
No specific assessment has been made. The majority of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurological conditions can be cared for through routine access to primary and secondary care commissioned locally by integrated care boards. NHS England commissions the specialised elements of MS care for those with more complex health needs.
