Sunburn: Children and Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the frequency of sunburn in children and young people under 18.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
The Department continues to advise patients to follow National Health Service guidance on sun protection. This advice is available publicly on the NHS.UK website, which is available at the following link:

It includes guidance on the extra care that should be taken for babies and children.
