Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which consultations published by their Department are awaiting a response; and when each of those responses (a) were initially planned to and (b) will be published.

Policy teams across the Department consult regularly during the policy development and implementation cycle. Information is available on GOV.UK about all open and closed consultations published by the Department, including the closing date for open consultations and, where available, the Government's response. The Cabinet Office has published best practice ‘consultation principles’ for Government departments.
