Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 21 October 2015 to Question 12818, on health services: weather, what data will be (a) collected and (b) published by NHS England.

Public Health England publishes a ‘winter health watch’ webpage each week throughout the winter. This includes a summary of the findings of our routine surveillance suitable for a non-technical audience, as well as links through to specific surveillance bulletins including surveillance for all- cause mortality, seasonal influenza, and norovirus.
