Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans her Department has to publish guidance to Integrated Care Systems about people claiming asylum who are being accommodated in hotels and what funding is being provided to them.

The Home Office is not able to commission health services for asylum seekers, and we do not fund healthcare.

We work closely with NHS and LA partners to support the health needs of asylum seekers. All asylum seekers have access to NHS services from arrival in the UK. The Home Office and its contractors work closely with the NHS, local authorities and non-governmental organisations to ensure that people can access the health care and support they need.
