Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what (1) number, and (2) percentage, of (a) children, and (b) adults, with cystic fibrosis in England saw a social worker at their latest annual review for each year since 2015.
The information requested is not collected centrally. However, from April 2023, local authorities will be mandated to collect data on adult social care patients and users. While this will not include information on diagnoses or medical conditions as standard, data will be collected on physical, sensory and social support; memory and cognition; and learning disability and mental health.
