Kidney Diseases: Health Services

Asked by Mark PritchardConservativeDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 2 March 2026UIN 113490

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will publish a Modern Service Framework on kidney disease.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Government will consider long-term conditions for future waves of modern service frameworks (MSFs), including respiratory conditions. The criteria for determining other conditions for future MSFs will be based on where there is potential for rapid and significant improvements in quality of care and productivity. After the initial wave of MSFs is complete, the National Quality Board will determine the conditions to prioritise for new MSFs as part of its work programme.
