Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the report by the UK Health Security Agency entitled The Health Impacts from Industrial Sources of PFAS: A Rapid Review, what plans she has to monitor levels of PFAS in communities in the UK.

I refer the Rt Hon. Member to the information on perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) published by the UK Health Security Agency, which includes information on PFAS and human biomonitoring and is available at the following link:
