The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what guidance his Department issues on the incineration of medical waste in the East of England.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Department does not currently hold this information. However, the national guidance for the National Health Service’s clinical waste strategy is available at the following link:

Organisations across integrated care systems, such as NHS trusts, would have their own policies on how to enact this guidance.
