Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the impact of rising energy costs on (a) kidney patients receiving dialysis treatment and (b) other individuals using large volumes of electricity to treat medical conditions at home.

We have had no specific discussions and no assessment has been made. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is responsible for monitoring the energy market to ensure it meets the need of all consumers, including those receiving medical treatment at home.
