Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to Answer of 25 October 2022 to Question 64166 on Malnutrition: Lancaster and Fleetwood, for what reason no specific assessment has been made of trends in the level of malnutrition in Lancaster and Fleetwood constituency.

Local health and care providers are responsible for malnutrition services based on the needs of the population. Integrated care boards coordinate and commission health and care services to improve population health and reduce inequalities. Tools and guidance are available through a range of organisations for health and social care professionals to identify and treat malnutrition and access appropriate training.
