Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Government’s White Paper, Integration and Innovation: working together to improve health and social care for all, whether he has made an assessment of who will be responsible for the continuum of self care for self-treatable conditions.

Integrated care systems will have a key role in considering how best to support self-care, working with their partners across acute care, primary care and local authorities. The National Health Service promotes self-care when appropriate and has commissioned a range of information, advice and support to help people do so.
