To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of the importance of the identification of underlying health conditions to help prevent disease-related malnutrition in the restructuring of the health and social care system.

The Office for Health Promotion will include subject-matter expertise on a range of important public health issues including nutrition.
