answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2023 answer text <p>The Department and NHS England do not centrally hold information on the number of patients in England and Wales with continence care needs.</p><p>Continence care needs may be managed by individuals in a range of ways, products can be bought from supermarkets, pharmacies or mail order and are available on prescription under the National Health Service. For a continence product to be able to be prescribed, it must be listed on ‘Part IX’ of the Drug Tariff.</p><p>There are over 3,000 listed continence products on Part IX available to be prescribed. Of these, over 1,700 are catheters. On application to Part IX, an assessment of products is made to check they are safe and of good quality, are appropriate for prescribing and are cost-effective.</p><p>As part of the Government’s inaugural MedTech strategy, there is a focus on improving MedTech used in the community, including continence care products. Proposals on changes to Part IX of the Drug Tariff are being consulted on this summer. The Government wants to improve comparison of products on Part IX by making it more transparent so that clinicians are better informed and provide the right products for each individual patient. The Government will continue to support provision of a range of continence products on Part IX of the Drug Tariff.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 26/05/2023 12:27:12 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
