The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to his Department's consultation entitled Health and social care statistical outputs which closed on 5 March 2024, when he plans to respond to that consultation; and if he will publish a timeline for implementing the recommendations of that consultation.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Department expects to publish a response to the consultation this year. Work is ongoing across the Department, the UK Health Security Agency, NHS England, and the Office for National Statistics to agree and align proposals following the feedback from users.

Any resulting changes to statistical publications will be made in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. The timings of each of these will vary by publication.
