Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what guidance her Department provides to integrated care boards and local authorities on including occupational therapy in sexual health services.

NHS England recognises the vital role occupational therapists play across the health and care system and is committed to supporting a skilled, sustainable workforce.

Opportunities for post registration development and specialism are the responsibility of employers and are designed both to support identified priority service areas, as well as enabling occupational therapists to develop different capabilities.
