Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that children and young people living with PANS and PANDAS receive effective, patient-centred care.
Answered by Maria Caulfield - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) (Minister for Women)
Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS)
are an emerging area of research and clinical interest for professionals working with children and young people. Should the evidence base develop further, we would look to organisations such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to update clinical policy. NHS England would then consider the development of care pathways for those living with relevant these conditions.
In the meantime, integrated care systems are responsible for planning care for their populations affected by these conditions and healthcare professionals will want to take account of any new research and developments in guidance to ensure that they can continue to provide high quality care to their patients.
