Kidney Diseases: Young People
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Answer of 29 April 2021 to Question 186169 on Kidney Diseases: Young People, what steps his Department is taking is to ensure that young people on dialysis are able to access psychosocial support under the paediatric renal service specification.
- Answer
-
The NHS England and NHS Improvement national paediatric renal service specification specifies that having a multi-disciplinary team is essential to running a paediatric nephrology service and would include social workers, psychologists, play specialists and youth workers. It is expected that each specialised paediatric renal unit would have access to appropriate psychosocial support. Providers of all specialised services are asked to assess their service against the key requirements of the service specifications on an annual basis.
