Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions his Department has had with NHS England on updating the NHS Long Term Plan in response to the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the NHS.
The Department and NHS England and NHS Improvement regularly monitor progress in the implementation of the NHS Long Term Plan, including considering the impacts of the pandemic. We intend to publish an update to the NHS Long Term Plan later this year, taking account of these impacts.
