(asked on 23rd March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent steps the Government has taken to improve diagnosis of encephalitis.
This question was answered on 30th March 2017
The Department has not made a recent assessment of the diagnosis of encephalitis or the level of National Health Service support available to people who have been diagnosed with encephalitis.
The new Emergency Care Data Set will be introduced from October 2017, and will improve the recording of the diagnosis of encephalitis in English accident and emergency departments, and allow a greater understanding of the current scope and scale of the problem.
