The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to increase evacuations of (a) medically vulnerable children and (b) their dependents from Gaza.

Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed

I refer the Hon. Member to the Written Statement HCWS899 made to the House on 1 September 2025 by my Rt. Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. Child patients are accompanied by their immediate families. Three groups of patients have now arrived, and we expect further evacuations to happen later in the autumn.
