Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether further meetings of the NHS Recovery Forum have been scheduled following its initial meeting on 7 January 2023.

Ministers routinely meet a range of National Health Service, social care leaders and outside experts, on matters of NHS and care policy delivery. Those present on Saturday 7 January included chief executives and clinical leaders from NHS organisations, local areas and councils from across the country, clinical experts from Royal Colleges and independent sector organisations working with health and social care services to deliver services for patients. We provide quarterly returns to Cabinet Office around meetings with external stakeholders.
