Question Number 1:
Follow on from FOI 7229

Would it be posisble please to clarify your response to the functional neurological disorder (FND) part of the request to which you answer -

"1C: N/A - Our Trust does not have a Neurology Department."

[1] While I think FND is most often diagnosed in neurology, I think it is also sometimes diagnosed in other departments, including in partcular rheumatology which I think you have a dept for.

Would it therefore be possible to clarify whether you have any policies, procedures etc etc in the hospital which cover the diagnosis and/or management of FND.

We do not see or diagnose FND in Rheumatology.
