Bone Diseases: Mental Health Services and Social Services
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to address any regional disparities in the provision of psychological and social care support for people with rare bone conditions.
- Answer
-
No recent assessment has been made. However, care for patients with rare bone conditions are addressed through the specialised rheumatology service specification, which requires clinical psychologists to be provided as a core component of a multi-disciplinary team.
Local commissioners are responsible for the provision of services to meet the needs of the local population. Local authorities are responsible for assessing an individual’s eligibility for care and support, as set out in the Care Act 2014. Where a person is assessed as having eligible care and support needs, the local authority should undertake a financial assessment. Where individuals are not eligible for financial support, local authorities will support them, should they require assistance, to make arrangements for care services.
