Urinary Tract Infections: Medical Treatments

Asked by Mr Andrew SnowdenConservativeDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 29 October 2025UIN 79054

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of NHS treatment protocols for chronic urinary tract infections.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

No specific assessment has been made by the Department. The National Health Service treats patients with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and chronic UTIs using the same care pathway until it becomes evident that symptoms are not resolving. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has published guidance for the NHS on the management of recurrent UTIs, which can be found at the following link:
