Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether NHS England supports the policy of excluding children from community health services on the basis of school type; and what assessment he has made of the merits of such a policy.

There is no policy that excludes children from community health services on the basis of school type. The National Health Service is free at the point of use and provides care to anyone who need it based on clinical need.

NHS occupational therapy services are provided for all children with an education, health and care plan (EHCP). For those without an EHCP, some schools provide on-site NHS occupational therapy.
