Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what treatment is offered by the NHS in England to patients diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder; whether rehabilitation therapy services are available to patients in Dorset who are diagnosed with that disorder; and if he will make a statement.

There is no one single approach to managing patients with functional neurological disorder (FND). Treatment may involve drugs to manage specific symptoms, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation care and psychological support.

As with the majority of NHS services, Integrated Care Boards are responsible for commissioning local services, including rehabilitation therapy services in Dorset for patients with FND.
