To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what resources he has allocated to reviewing the responses to the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances consultation on standard adult ready-to-drink oral nutritional supplements.

The Committee’s Secretariat function is provided by one member of staff. The Department has allocated the Secretariat and part of two staff members’ time to review the responses to the consultation.
