We have no plans to establish a taskforce to address the research, workforce and clinical needs of people with a neurological condition. The Department is committed to supporting those living with a neurological condition and the provision of services is a whole system responsibility across primary, secondary and specialist care in the National Health Service and social care. Specialised elements of neurology care are provided through the 25 specialised neurological treatment centres in England to ensure that those with more complex health needs receive the best possible care.<\/p>
NHS England\u2019s neuroscience transformation programme has worked with stakeholders, including patients and expert working groups to identify consensus on best practice, including principles on access to appropriate timely services for people with the range of neurological services. The transformation programme continues to work with patient groups and stakeholders to develop a new model for neurology services.<\/p>
<\/p>
The transformation programme will provide integrated care systems with the tools, information and resources such as the neurology data required to improve services, as systems assume joint or delegated responsibility for commissioning specialised neurology services from April 2023. In NHS England, patient and public voice partners are represented throughout the governance structure to ensure that the views of patients, carers and the public are addressed.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4527", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Helen Whately"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Faversham and Mid Kent"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Helen Whately"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-11-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-11-29T12:00:16.833Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-10-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Neurology"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will establish a taskforce to look at the (a) research, (b) workforce and (c) clinical needs of people who have a neurological condition.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "73865"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1377916", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1377916/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
