Incontinence: Medical Equipment

Mr. Watson
To ask the Secretary of State for Health when she expects to publish plans on the provision of incontinence and stoma appliances; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Ivan Lewis
We will consider whether to publish plans on the provision of incontinence and stoma appliances after we have evaluated responses to the consultation relating to Part IX of the Drug Tariff, which closed on 2 April.
