Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate she has made of the number of diagnoses of postural tachycardia syndrome since 2019.

The Government has made no estimate of the number of diagnoses of postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS), although we know that PoTS UK has estimated the prevalence of PoTS to be 0.2%. Further information on the estimated prevalence is available at the following link:

Services for PoTS are locally commissioned and, as such, it is the responsibility of the local commissioning teams within integrated care boards to ensure that their services meet the needs of their local population. NHS England does not hold information on the services that provide a PoTS service for adults or children in England.
