The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Answer of 5 January 2026 to question 97838, what his planned timetable is for the publication of the LGBT+ health evidence review.

Answered by Karin Smyth

NHS England launched the LGBT+ Health Evidence Review in July 2025, and it is being led by Dr Michael Brady, the NHS England National Adviser for LGBT+ Health. Good progress has been made on the Review, including a literature review, analysis of relevant datasets and surveys, a formal evidence submission process, engagement with an expert advisory group, and nationwide engagement events held in autumn 2025.

The findings of the LGBT+ Health Evidence Review are being finalised and a decision to publish the review will be taken after consideration of its findings and recommendations.
