Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the programme of work for liver disease being developed by Public Health England will include a hepatitis C improvement framework.

NHS England and Public Health England (PHE) are working alongside a coalition of other organisations and patient groups to draft a framework for hepatitis C improvement. This hepatitis C improvement framework will set high level aims for the public health system towards elimination of hepatitis C related liver disease as a significant public health concern.

The hepatitis C improvement framework will be referred to in PHE’s liver disease framework.
