Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department's timeframe is for rolling out the Excellence in Continence Care Guidelines across the Integrated Care Systems and Primary Care Networks.

Excellence in Continence Care: Practical guidance for commissioners, and leaders in health and social care is available for all Integrated Care Systems and Primary Care Networks. No recent assessment has been made of adherence to this guidance.

There has been no recent review and there are no plans at this stage to publish a revised version of the Excellence in Continence Care guideline. The current guideline has already been rolled out to Integrated Care Systems and Primary Care Networks.

The National Bladder and Bowel Project was set up to improve continence care across the whole public health and care system following feedback from the July 2018 publication.
