Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the report, Leak reveals worst case scenario for nursing after Brexit, published by the Health Service Journal on 6 April 2017, whether the information contained in the report was made public by his Department.
It has been the policy of successive Governments not to comment on specific leaks and the Government takes such incidents very seriously. Leaks are investigated thoroughly and effectively, with established policies and procedures in place.
