HC Deb 23 November 1999 vol 339 c99W
Mr. Rendel

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was spent by the NHS in the last five years for which figures are available on(a) primary care continence services, (b) secondary continence care, (c) prolapse operations and (d) continence, related problems. [98654]

Mr. Hutton

Information on continence services is not available centrally. Local health authorities through primary care groups are responsible for commissioning continence services to meet the needs of their local population. The National Health Service Executive is reviewing continence service policy and plan to issue updated guidance shortly.
