Written question asked by Emma Hardy (Labour) on Tuesday, 9 January 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 11 January 2024. It was answered by Andrew Stephenson (Conservative) on Tuesday, 16 January 2024 on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care.


Neurological Diseases: Hydrotherapy

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department has made a recent assessment of the adequacy of the (a) availability of and (b) access to hydrotherapy for people living with long-term neurological conditions in (i) Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle constituency and (ii) the UK.

Answer

Health services are commissioned locally by integrated care boards, which are best placed to make decisions regarding the provision of health services, including hydrotherapy for people living with long-term neurological conditions, to their local population, subject to local prioritisation and funding. These commissioning arrangements apply in England only given that health is a devolved issue.
