The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to announce the next phase of the National Service Frameworks.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Early priorities for Modern Service Frameworks will include cardiovascular disease, sepsis, severe mental illness and the first ever service framework for frailty and dementia. As advised by the National Quality Board, the Government will consider other conditions for future phases of MSFs and has recently announced an MSF on palliative and end-of-life care.
