The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of pollution on the number of admissions to Darent Valley Hospital.

Exposure to air pollution is associated with increased hospital admissions, particularly for respiratory and cardiovascular conditions. The UK Health Security Agency has not calculated the potential impact of air pollution on the number of admissions to the Darent Valley Hospital specifically.
