Autism: Health Services

Asked by Vikki SladeLiberal DemocratDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 10 June 2025UIN 56473

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to (a) include support for adults with autism and (b) help support (i) Integrated Care Boards and (ii) local hospital trusts with supporting adults with autism through the NHS 10 year plan.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The 10-Year Health Plan will deliver the three big shifts the National Health Service needs to be fit for the future: from hospital to community; from analogue to digital; and from sickness to prevention. All of these are relevant to supporting people with a range of conditions such as autism, in all parts of the country.
