The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which local authorities have (a) received and (b) are housing (i) individuals and (ii) families evacuated 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. As of 28 October 2025, four groups of patients have now arrived.

The safety, privacy, and wellbeing of these severely ill and vulnerable patients and their families remains our absolute priority. We will not be providing further operational details, including their whereabouts, at this stage.
