Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of his Department's (a) Senior Civil Servants and (b) core policy civil servants are based in London.

75% of Senior Civil Servants in the Department are based in London. Some Departmental team responsibilities are strictly policy matters and others may include, or exclusively involve, operational or corporate business activities. The Department does not impose an artificial distinction between ‘policy’ teams and operational or business teams as many teams will be active in both aspects of Government to varying degrees. The titles and topics covered by all the teams making up the Department can be found in the most recent Departmental organograms / structure charts at:
