Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he has taken to improve provision of services available in the Welsh language on the gov.uk website.

The health and care system in Wales is devolved. The majority of health services information for Wales is published on the Welsh National Health Service website:

www.wales.nhs.uk

or the Welsh Government’s website:

http://gov.wales/topics/health/

If the Department is responsible for producing any policy content or guidance that directly affects Wales we would commission translation services and provide the content in both Welsh and English on:

www.gov.uk

For example, the United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers’ recent alcohol guidance report was published in both languages.
