To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Bilateral agreement between the UK and Kenya on healthcare workforce collaboration, published on 11 November 2021, what progress his Department has made on the establishment of a joint committee to oversee the implementation of that agreement.

An official level working group has been established to oversee the implementation of the Bilateral agreement. This includes officials from the Department of Health and Social Care and the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, the Kenyan Government and relevant agencies. The formation of a formal joint committee has been paused until the conclusion of the Kenyan general election in 2022.
