Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to disband the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities.

There are no plans to disband the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID). As part of an internal restructure in the Department, OHID teams have been integrated into the groups of three Director Generals, under the clinical and professional leadership of the Deputy Chief Medical Officer. Embedding health improvement and prevention focused teams across the Department reflects the importance of improving the nation’s health and tackling disparities. OHID continues its role in bringing together public health expertise, analysis and policy to support evidence-based policy development.
