Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many taskings for Military Aid to the Civil Authorities from his Department required the use of RAF CH-47 Chinook helicopters since 2019.

The Department does not hold information on the number or type of military assets used to fulfil a Military Aid to Civil Authorities request. It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defence to determine the appropriate military assets, and therefore the need for a CH-47 Chinook helicopter.
