Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to increase diagnosis and treatment rates of iron deficiency anaemia.
This question was answered on 4th April 2016
It is for local National Health Service organisations to develop their own policy to treat patients with iron deficiency anaemia based on their clinical needs.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has produced a large body of guidelines aimed at professionals treating patients with anaemia who have chronic conditions, such as kidney disease and cancer. A copy of Chronic kidney disease: managing anaemia is attached.
