Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to support NHS Integrated Care Boards to improve patient outcomes for inflammatory bowel disease.
Answer
I refer the Hon Member to the answer provided on 15 June in response to Question 6990 .
Verdict: RED (12/100) DEFERRED
The question asked about support for integrated care boards (ICBs) and outcomes for inflammatory bowel disease. The reply does not answer it directly. It refers the reader back to an earlier answer (Question 6990, 15 June) and gives no substantive information of its own. Someone reading this reply alone would not have the information they asked for and would likely need to check the earlier answer or ask again.
How we got there
| Question item | Coverage | Specificity | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is the department doing to support NHS Integrated Care Boards to improve patient outcomes for inflammatory bowel disease? | Deferred | Generic | The only statement is a referral to a previous answer (Question 6990, 15 June) and contains no substantive content on support for ICBs or inflammatory bowel disease outcomes, so the substantive answer is pushed elsewhere rather than given here. |
