HC Deb 05 March 2003 vol 400 cc1109-10W
Tim Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether his Department has conducted an audit of paediatric continence services in the United Kingdom. [100417]

Jacqui Smith

No. The provision of these services in England is a matter for primary care trusts, which are responsible for determining the level of services required to meet the needs of their local population. Common childhood conditions, including enuresis and paediatric continence, will be considered under the forthcoming national service framework for children, young people and maternity services, which is currently developing national standards.
