The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of withdrawing local early-intervention health services on demand for secondary care in Surrey.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The commissioning of local National Health Services is a matter for local integrated care boards (ICBs) working together with providers and other stakeholders. Neither the NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB nor the NHS Frimley ICB are aware of the withdrawal of early intervention services in Surrey.
