Febrile Seizures

Asked by Lincoln JoppConservativeDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 15 May 2025UIN 50426

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of information in the parent leaflet for febrile seizures; and whether he plans to further update them.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

Individual providers are responsible for the content in the leaflets they produce, and trusts have the freedom to decide what to include in their local leaflets.

Information on febrile seizures can be found on the NHS.UK website, which contains the nationally recommended guidance, at the following link:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/febrile-seizures/

All information provided to patients should be accurate and reflect the best possible advice, in line with guidance published by the Department, which is available at the following link:
