Sustainable Farming Incentive

"Food security is national security. Without playing the blame game, the ineptness of the scheme is causing British farms to close and, in extreme circumstances, farmers to commit suicide.

Written Question
Orthopaedics and Prosthetics: Nurses
Tuesday 13th October 2026

Asked by: Mike Martin (Liberal Democrat - Tunbridge Wells)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of establishing a Limb Loss and Limb Difference Liaison Nurse in every ICB to oversee care coordination.

Answered by James Frith - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

No such assessment has been made. The Amputee Rehabilitation and Prosthetics Services for People of All Ages with Limb Loss and Limb Difference service specification sets out the minimum standards expected of all services in England including availability of staff. Liaison nurses in integrated care boards are not a national service requirement. The service specification was developed following extensive engagement with patient groups and staff.
