The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress his Department has made on plans for the UK Neuro Forum.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

The new United Kingdom-wide Neuro Forum will facilitate formal, biannual meetings across the Department, NHS England, and the devolved administrations, health services, and Neurological Alliances of all four nations of the UK.

The forum met for the first time on 10 March, bringing together key stakeholders to share learning across the system, discuss important neurology service transformation and workforce challenges, as well as best practice examples and potential solutions that will add both to the existing programmes of work and to wider health plans. The forum will be an advisory rather than a decision-making body.

The next meeting due to take place in early autumn 2025.
