Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate she has made of (a) the number of patients affected by Essential Tremor in Liverpool and (b) how many of those patients will receive magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound treatment for that condition in financial year 2022-23.

No specific assessment has been made regarding the number of patients with essential tremor in Liverpool. Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust provide this treatment in England and meet patient demand. There are no current plans to expand the number of providers.
