Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Laurence Robertson and Jackie Doyle-Price

Tuesday 7th May 2019 Commons Chamber

[Jackie Doyle-Price]

My hon. Friend is knocking on an open door, because this issue is very close to my heart. The public outcomes framework does include a measure of reported domestic abuse incidents and crimes that is intended to give an indication of the scale of the issue in each area, and we expect CCGs to commission services as a response to exactly those issues. I have written to CCGs to remind them to commission appropriate sexual violence services, as well as those already commissioned by NHS England so that we have proper support for people who have been victims of these terrible offences.

[Mr Laurence Robertson (Tewkesbury) (Con)]
