Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the scheduled publication of a shared decision making guideline by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in June 2021, what assessment they have made of the opportunities for integrated care systems to support patients in having more involvement in decisions about their treatment and care; and what plans they have to publish guidance to support this.

It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.
