Hydrocephalus: Surrey Heath
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to (a) raise awareness of hydrocephalus and (b) improve support for people living with the condition in Surrey Heath constituency.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The Department has engaged extensively with a national charity dedicated to raising awareness of hydrocephalus. My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care met with charity representatives regarding hydrocephalus in November 2024, and officials remain mindful of issues which affect people with hydrocephalus.
We are currently refreshing the Healthy Child Programme guidance, applicable to all areas of England, including Surrey Heath, to strengthen service delivery for all children, including those living with hydrocephalus who may or may not have already been diagnosed.
