To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of including Tourette's in the independent review into mental health.
Zubir Ahmed
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
This review focuses on mental health conditions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism. Tourette’s is a neurological disorder and therefore it will be at the Chair's discretion as to how far the review considers Tourette's with this in mind.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
