Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many children who are diagnosed with having an Autistic Spectrum Disorders also have a diagnosis of Foetal Valproate Syndrome.

Everyone who has been harmed from sodium valproate has our deepest sympathies. Information about the number of children diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder and a diagnosis of foetal valproate syndrome is not collected centrally.
