Cerebral Palsy: Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to WPQ109839 answered on 9 February on Cerebral Palsy: Young People, whether she will hold discussions with the Equalities Minister on whether current systems within the NHS support young adults with cerebral palsy, including those without a diagnosed learning disability.
Answered by Mrs Sharon Hodgson
Ministers from the Department of Health and Social Care and the Minister for Equalities work closely together on issues relating to disability, health inequalities and access to services. Officials will continue to engage across Government to ensure that national policy recognises the needs of young adults with cerebral palsy and that systems across the National Health Service support equitable access to appropriate care, regardless of whether an individual has a diagnosed learning disability.
