Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people have a diagnosis of incontinence.
NHS England published revised guidance on Continence Care in July 2018 which is available at the following link:

This guidance states that in the United Kingdom an estimated 14 million men, women, young people and children of all ages are living with bladder problems, 900,000 children and young people suffer from bladder and bowel dysfunction, and 6.5 million adults suffer with some form of bowel problem.
