PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Neurology (29 October 2019)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department will direct local authorities to start routinely recording whether someone they are providing services for has a neurological condition in order to (a) capture their experiences and outcomes and (b) identify whether their needs are being met.

Asked by:
Sir John Hayes (Conservative)

There are no current plans to collect this information within social care data returns from local authorities. However, local authorities can currently record this for their own internal use when providing services for individuals, in order to capture experiences and outcomes and identify whether their needs are being met.
