The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to treat individuals with sensory processing sensitivity.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

It is the responsibility of the integrated care boards (ICBs) to ensure that the providers they commission make available appropriate provision to meet the health and care needs of their local population, including for those experiencing sensory processing sensitivity. In October 2023, NHS England produced a sensory-friendly resource pack to support ICBs to develop sensory-friendly environments.
