Kidney Diseases: Health Services

Asked by Jess Brown-FullerLiberal DemocratDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 23 March 2026UIN 121033

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to introduce a modern service framework for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Government will consider long-term conditions for future waves of modern service frameworks (MSFs). 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.
