Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what is their definition of "complex needs" in the 10 Year Health Plan for England's target for 95 per cent of people with complex needs to have an agreed care plan by 2027.

Answer

Our 10-Year Health Plan will ensure that people with complex needs are supported to be active participants in their own care. As part of this, 95% of people with complex needs or long-term conditions will have an agreed personalised care plan by 2027.

Work is currently underway to determine the definition of “complex needs” in the context of this target and how care plans will be delivered.
