Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans she has to tackle Foetal Alcoholic Spectrum Disorder through a) funding, b) research and c) raising awareness amongst health practitioners and the public.
Answer
I refer the Rt Hon Member to the answer provided on 28 October in response to Question 31104 .
Verdict: RED (5/100)
The reply does not answer this question in any substantive way. On funding, it only refers the reader to an earlier answer (28 October, Question 31104) without giving any figures or detail itself. It says nothing about research into foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) or about raising awareness among health practitioners and the public. The person who asked would most likely need to submit a follow-up question.
