Podiatry: Surgery
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure ICBs offer routine podiatry surgeries.
- Answer
-
Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning services that meet the needs of their local populations, including podiatry and related surgical interventions where clinically appropriate. NHS England has issued guidance to ICBs to ensure equitable access to community and specialist services.
We recognise the importance of community health services (CHS) to the health and care system. The Medium-Term Planning Framework – delivering change together 2026/27 to 2028/29, published October 2025, sets clear targets for reducing waiting times for CHS.
