Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish a progress report for the antimicrobial resistance action plan following the completion of its first year.

The 2024 to 2029 UK National Action Plan (NAP) to confront antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was published on 8 May 2024. It is the second of four five-year NAPs that the Government committed to developing to deliver its 20-year vision that AMR is contained, controlled and mitigated by 2040.

The 2024 to 2029 NAP commits to publishing a short annual report summarising progress made against the NAP. The Government anticipates publishing the first of these reports shortly, which describes activity during the first year of the NAP programme.
