Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the job titles are of civil servants in his Department who have been provided with (a) an official car and (b) a driver.
Within the Department, no civil servants have a designated official car or driver. The Chief Medical Officer has access to an official Government car and driver from a shared cross government service. This has been used on occasions where there has been a need to make confidential or sensitive telephone calls whilst travelling and where it would be inappropriate to do so whilst travelling on public transport.
