Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the recommendations of the Bradley Report five years on, published in June 2014.

The Bradley Report from 2009 continues to inform policy discussions between Ministers and officials from the Department and across Government, and with NHS England and stakeholder members of the Bradley Report Group.

We will consider the reports of progress and further recommendations in The Bradley Report five years on and consider with the Ministry of Justice, Home Office and NHS England any implications for future policy development.

A copy of The Bradley Report five years on has been placed in the Library.
