Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether the medical questionnaire completed by Pauline Cafferkey on her return to the UK from Sierra Leone asked whether aspirin, paracetamol or ibuprofen had been taken prior to her temperature being tested.

Before 31 December 2014 the medical questionnaire used by Public Health England (PHE) did not routinely ask about whether aspirin, paracetamol, or ibuprofen had been taken. The questionnaire now includes a question to this effect and will be kept under review as the Secretary of State for Health explained in his statement to the house on 5 January.
