Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish the prevention is better than a cure Green Paper; and whether that Green Paper will include provisions to improve vaccination rates in the UK.

Last November, we published ‘Prevention is Better than Cure’; the Government vision on prevention. This set out a clear Government position on why prevention matters, and the role we all have to play in living healthier, happier lives. This year, we will publish a prevention Green Paper, setting out our plans in greater detail; drawing from evidence on the main causes of ill-health and disability.
