Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his planned timetable is for publishing the white paper on health disparities; and whether that white paper will include a focus on tackling regional variations in access to care, services and treatment for people with long-term health conditions.
While the forthcoming health disparities white paper will review the factors which influence health disparities, the specific policy content and further details on the timings of publication will be available in due course.
