Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will outline a funding settlement alongside the NHS workforce plan when it is published, with particular reference to the workforce dealing with the treatment of Parkinson's Disease.

The Government has committed to publishing a workforce plan next year, which will include independently verified forecasts for the number of healthcare professionals required in future years, including for services for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Funding plans beyond the current Spending Review period will be subject to the outcome of future Spending Reviews.
