Incontinence and Urology: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to improve (a) urology and (b) continence services.
Answered by Karin Smyth
NHS England published the Excellence in Continence Care on 23 July 2018, bringing together evidence-based resources and research for guidance for commissioners, providers, and health and social care staff, and which is available at the following link:

In addition, the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence has produced guidance on the management of faecal incontinence in adults, which healthcare professionals and commissioners are expected to take fully into account when delivering services for people with bowel incontinence.
