Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for Health which health authorities in England make provision for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders; and if he will make a statement. [18417]

Sleep disturbance most commonly arises as a result of mental illness such as anxiety and depression. All health authorities will provide a spectrum of treatment ranging from general, primary and care-led, to specialist services.
