Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what childcare facilities his Department makes available for its staff; how much his Department spent (a) overall and (b) per child on those facilities in the last 12 months; and how many of his Department's staff use those facilities.

The Department does not provide any childcare facilities for its staff on its estate. The Department does participate in a voucher scheme but this is a salary sacrifice where staff give up part of their salary in exchange for vouchers for childcare. There is no cost to the Department for this scheme.
