To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they have taken to ensure that current guidance on quality continence care has been transitioned into Integrated Care Systems since April 2022.

Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

NHS England's Excellence in Continence Care guidance published in July 2018 brings together evidence-based resources and research for guidance for integrated care boards (ICBs), National Health Service providers, health and social care staff. It indicates that personalised care including personal health budgets can be arranged locally by ICBs to help people manage and pay for their continence care needs. A copy of the guidance is attached.
