Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reason potential issues relating to the location of (a) HIV and (b) other specialised services in integrated care systems were not addressed in the report entitled Hewitt Review: an independent review of integrated care systems, published on 4 April 2023.

As this was an independent review, it was a matter for the Rt. hon. Patricia Hewitt to determine the topics and issues addressed in her report, within the scope set by her terms of reference.

The terms of reference are available at the following link:
