HPV Vaccination for Boys
"I am afraid that I do not. The figure that I have is 2,000 people a year, so one has to assume that it is that—but it is growing.

Written Question
Wednesday 19th July 2017
Asked by:
Roger Gale (Conservative - Herne Bay and Sandwich)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the clinical evidence basis is that patient services will be improved as a result of the proposed closure of congenital heart disease services at the Royal Brompton Hospital.
Answered by Philip Dunne
No decision has been made to close the Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) service at the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust. In its work on the CHD standards, NHS England considered a broad range of determinants that contribute to excellent outcomes. Outcomes will be improved when care is provided by a centre that is able to meet the standards carefully developed by clinical experts and patients, and on which NHS England has already consulted.

Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proposals NHS England has made for the replacement of paediatric respiratory services currently provided at the Royal Brompton Hospital.
Answered by Philip Dunne
No decision has been made to close the Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) service at the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust.
The particular circumstances at the Royal Brompton mean that NHS England’s CHD proposals would, if implemented, have an impact on the Trust’s paediatric respiratory service. NHS England has therefore formed a specialist panel to review the potential impact of the CHD proposals on paediatric respiratory services at the Royal Brompton.
If a decision is taken to stop commissioning children’s CHD surgical services, NHS England will work with the Trust to manage the impact on paediatric respiratory services.
