Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to support podiatric surgery services across the NHS in response to the elective waiting times.
The Elective Recovery Fund is providing £1 billion to tackle elective care backlogs, including podiatric surgery services. The National Health Service is currently engaging with the Royal College of Podiatry to discuss how podiatric services can be supported.
