The department does not collect data on the availability of medical conditions policies. Local authorities are statutorily required to keep the provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities under review, including its sufficiency and how they work with parents, young people, and providers. This would include encouraging the availability of medical conditions policies in schools.
