Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the 2026 Renewed Women’s Health Strategy for England on waiting times for gynaecology services.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Renewed Women’s Health Strategy puts the 10-Year Health Plan’s new care model into action to deliver faster, tangible improvements across four outcomes that matter most to women across England. Through the Renewed Strategy, we will support integrated care boards to introduce a single point of access for all non-urgent referrals to gynaecology and women's health services to speed up access to better treatment. We will also fund a specialist centre in each region for group-based approaches to high volume low complexity women’s health pathways, which will improve productivity and empower women in common clinical areas, helping reduce waiting lists and supporting self-management.

We are committed to returning by March 2029 to the National Health Service constitutional standard that 92% of patients wait no longer than 18 weeks from referral to consultant-led treatment, including for gynaecology. As of March 2026, the waiting list for gynaecology stands at 560,866 with 18-week performance at 60.9%, up from 54.2% since the 2024 General Election.

Our Elective Reform Plan, published in January 2025, sets out reforms we are making to improve gynaecology waiting times across England. This includes innovative models of care that offer care closer to home as well as in the community, piloting gynaecology pathways in community diagnostic centres for patients with post-menopausal bleeding and increasing the relative funding available to incentivise providers to take on more gynaecology procedures. Gynaecology is one of the specialties being prioritised for surgical hubs, which helps to reduce elective waits and increase activity. We are increasing the number of hubs over the next three years so more operations can be carried out.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to increase the number of consultant obstetricians and gynaecologists to support delivery of the 2026 Renewed Women’s Health Strategy for England.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Renewed Women’s Health Strategy was published on 15 April 2026 and sets out a bold, long‑term plan to transform how the health and care system listens to, supports, and delivers for women and girls across all regions in England.

It puts women’s voices and choices at the centre of care, drives faster improvements in services and outcomes that matter most to women, and tackles long‑standing health inequalities across the life course. The strategy aligns with the 10-Year Health Plan to shift care into the community, harness digital innovation, and strengthen prevention so women can live healthier, more fulfilled lives.

The Government is committed to publishing a 10 Year Workforce Plan to set out action to create a workforce ready to deliver the transformed service set out in the 10-Year Health Plan. The plan will ensure the National Health Service has the right people in the right places, with the right skills to care for patients, when they need it.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to publish annual progress reports on the implementation of the 2026 Renewed Women’s Health Strategy for England.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Renewed Women’s Health Strategy, published on the 15 April 2026, sets out 117 actions across four core commitments: acting on women’s voices and choices; transforming National Health Service performance in services that matter most to women; supporting all women to lead healthier lives; and creating an approach to research and development that works for and empowers women. The Renewed Women’s Health Strategy contains a summary of the actions associated with each commitment, and which organisation or organisations will be responsible for delivery of each one.

Baroness Gillian Merron, the Minister for Women’s Health and Mental Health, and the Department will have overall responsibility for implementing the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy.

Change will be immediate and ongoing. Some actions are already underway or funded this year, others will be delivered over the next two to five years, and more fundamental reforms will be phased over the next decade, aligned with the 10-Year Health Plan. The strategy sets out clear milestones and accountability to ensure progress continues.

We have no plans to publish annual progress reports.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of women’s health hubs on delivering the objectives of the 2026 Renewed Women’s Health Strategy for England.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Renewed Women’s Health Strategy sets out a bold, long‑term plan to transform how the health and care system listens to, supports, and delivers for women and girls. It puts women’s voices and choices at the centre of care, drives faster improvements in services and outcomes that matter most to women, and tackles long‑standing health inequalities across the life course. The strategy aligns with the 10-Year Health Plan to shift care into the community, harness digital innovation, and strengthen prevention so women can live healthier, more fulfilled lives.

A core part of the improved women’s health offer set out in the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy will be neighbourhood women's health services.

This model, learning from the proof-of-concept women's health hubs, will transform women's healthcare in every community in line with our 10-Year Health Plan neighbourhood model.

Where high-quality women's health hubs exist, they will continue to lead service delivery. In other areas we anticipate there will be a dedicated space within broader neighbourhood health centres.

In the future, our vision is that every neighbourhood will provide proactive, specialist, and preventative women's health care that complements and extends the primary care offer, directly delivering intermediate care services and leading population prevention within neighbourhoods, including preconception health, contraception, and screening services.

Learning from the women's health hubs pilot programme is being used to implement neighbourhood working in women's health.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve access to specialist women’s health services for women in deprived areas.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Government is committed to building a fairer Britain, to ensure people can live well for longer. Our reimagined National Health Service will tackle inequalities in both access and outcomes, as well as give everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from, the means to engage with the NHS on their own terms.

In April, the Government published the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy for England as part of its commitment to prioritise women’s health as we reform the NHS, and to ensure that all women across the country are supported to live healthy, prosperous lives.

Reducing inequalities is hard‑wired throughout this strategy with actions targeted by deprivation, ethnicity, and unmet need, with a focus on marginalised women, community‑based services, neighbourhood health models, and transparent data. Many initiatives explicitly prioritise areas with the highest inequality first, rather than relying on universal rollout alone.

Commitments include publishing an equity good practice guide to enable integrated care boards (ICBs) to better understand and reduce inequalities in heavy periods and menopause. These conditions have been selected as disproportionately affecting women from ethnic minority backgrounds and those women living in the 20% most deprived areas in England.

We have also committed to establishing a women’s voices partnership, a new space for organisations representing women to inform national decision making. The partnership will focus on women most excluded from traditional services.

We will also fund a specialist centre in each region for group-based approaches to high volume low complexity women’s health pathways. This will improve productivity and empower women in common clinical areas, helping reduce waiting lists and supporting self-management.

Menstrual problems, including those caused by endometriosis and menopause are prioritised as the first pathways to be delivered through community-based services and the new virtual hospital, NHS Online. NHS Online will give people on certain pathways the choice of getting the specialist care they need from their home. It will connect patients with clinicians across the country through secure, online appointments accessed through the NHS App.

In November 2025, NHS England’s Statement on Information on Health Inequalities set a clear expectation that ICBs, trusts, and foundation trusts routinely capture and use disability data. This data should be used to identify patterns of unmet need and inequitable access, inform commissioning and service design decision, implement and monitor reasonable adjustments, and improve patient experience, safety, and outcomes for disabled people. NHS England’s Statement on Information on Health Inequalities is available at the following link:

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to tackle the threat of antimicrobial resistance for people with cystic fibrosis as we mark cystic fibrosis awareness week from 8-14 June.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The United Kingdom’s 2024 to 2029 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) national action plan (NAP), published in May 2024, recognises that AMR impacts people differently. People with cystic fibrosis are an increased risk of infection, including resistant infections, and therefore action to tackle the threat of AMR is even more important for this group. In particular, the use of accurate diagnostic testing to guide effective antibiotic use, a priority commitment in the NAP, is critical for people with cystic fibrosis.

The Department, through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), has invested over £88 million in AMR programme funding over the last five years. This includes research to develop and evaluate diagnostics and point‑of‑care testing to improve infection detection and optimise antibiotic use. The NIHR also supports the development of health technologies, including diagnostics, through its wider research infrastructure.

The UK will continue to invest in tackling AMR where it is most impactful, helping to ensure that our actions to address AMR reduce the burden for the people who are more affected.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the impact of co-morbidities such as liver disease which affects one in five people with cystic fibrosis as we mark cystic fibrosis awareness week from 8-14 June.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend that patients and/or the families of people with cystic fibrosis are provided with the relevant information and the opportunity for discussion with clinicians on topics that include their diagnosis, monitoring of their condition, management options, and existing or possible complications that could relate to comorbidities like liver disease. NICE guidelines are available at the following link:

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what published outputs have been produced under the programme “Palestinian Bedouin at risk of forced displacement: IHL vulnerabilities, ICC possibilities” (GB-GOV-13-OODA-AHRC-C4WCAGQ-R6SBCMZ-AYRNVWK); whether a value for money assessment was conducted before approval; and whether the programme’s stated objective of engaging with the ICC’s work is consistent with UK ODA eligibility criteria.

Answered by Kanishka Narayan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

The project “Palestinian Bedouin at risk of forced displacement: IHL vulnerabilities, ICC possibilities” (GB-GOV-13-OODA-AHRC-C4WCAGQ-R6SBCMZ-AYRNVWK) was funded under the AHRC/DFID Collaborative Humanitarian Protection Programme, which aimed to strengthen understanding of humanitarian protection risks and identify effective ways to reduce harm to vulnerable populations. The project produced a range of outputs, including peer‑reviewed research publications, policy papers, and wider dissemination materials, alongside field research across affected communities. It also supported wider policy, parliamentary and multilateral engagement, informed by research findings.

Value for money was an explicit assessment criterion, with all proposals subject to rigorous peer review by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the then Department for International Development, including detailed assessment of resource justification. All projects were required to submit an Official Development Assistance (ODA) compliance statement as part of the application process, in line with standard requirements.

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what (a) statutory regulations and (b) safety guidance her Department has issued regarding the use of strobe and flashing lighting at live music and sporting venues to mitigate seizure risk for spectators with photosensitive epilepsy.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport does not issue regulations and guidance on the use of strobe flashing lighting, however event organisers and venue operators have duties under existing health and safety legislation to protect the public from risks associated with it.

Under Section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, dutyholders must conduct thorough risk assessments and ensure members of the public are not exposed to health risks.

To support compliance, comprehensive industry guidance is available in The Purple Guide (formerly the Health and Safety Executive’s Event Safety Guide), which outlines best practices for flicker rates, equipment positioning, and necessary audience warnings. Further guidance is available from the NHS, local authorities, and the Epilepsy Society.

It is standard good practice for venues and ticketing platforms to provide advance warning of strobe effects.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 4 June 2026 to Question 5319 on Animal Experiments, what the expected number of procedures involving (a) dogs and (b) non-human primates was under service project licences in each of the last five years.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office does not hold centrally collated figures on expected number of procedures to be carried out under service project licences involving dogs or non-human primates in each of the last five years.

Project licences authorise programmes of work according to the scientific need set out in the application, rather than against a single centrally recorded expected procedures total. Information on the expected number and types of animals to be used is set out in published non-technical summaries for each of the licensed programmes of work – published at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/non-technical-summaries-of-projects-granted-under-aspa.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will commit to a review of the prescription charge exemption list to reflect the changing nature of many long-term conditions including cystic fibrosis.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Government currently has no plans to review or amend the list of medical conditions that entitle someone to apply for a medical exemption certificate.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of global temperatures on the health of people with neurological conditions, including epilepsy; and what research his Department is funding into climate-related health risks for such patients.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has assessed the health impacts of rising temperatures through its Climate Change and Mental Health thematic assessment and the Adverse Weather and Health Plan Supporting Evidence 2024. These identify that people with neurological and cognitive conditions are at increased risk during heat events, with high confidence evidence for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. UKHSA heat mortality monitoring reports for England also show significant heat-associated mortality in people with dementia and Alzheimer’s, including an estimated 254 heat-associated deaths in 2025. These assessments underpin the UKHSA’s heat-health alerts, guidance, and preparedness actions to mitigate risks from increasing temperatures.

The Department funds research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR has invested, and is continuing to invest, in research related to human health and climate change. The NIHR welcomes applications on any aspect of health and social care, including neurological conditions such as epilepsy.

Specifically on the impact of global temperatures on those with neurological conditions, the NIHR, through its infrastructure, has supported a number of projects investigating the impact of air pollution on neurological conditions such as stroke and dementia. Between 2020/21 and 2024/25, £441,327 was committed to this research.

The NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Climate Change and Health Security, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, is carrying out research to support decision-making relating to the health impacts of climate change. This includes assessing the impact of climate change on the health of high-risk groups.

In addition, the NIHR and UK Research and Innovation are providing £42 million of funding to seven new transdisciplinary research hubs which will explore ways to ensure the United Kingdom’s transition to Net Zero also protects and promotes physical and mental health.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the impact of (a) current demand reduction assumptions in water resource planning and (b) the proportion of projected savings by 2050 not tied to specific (i) policies and (ii) delivery mechanisms on delivery risk.

Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Environment Agency’s National Framework for Water Resources estimates a shortfall of nearly 5 billion litres of water per day by 2050 between available supply and expected demand. Government has a statutory target to reduce water use in England per head by 20% by 2038, and is committed to a twin track approach to improving water resilience. This involves urgent action to improve water efficiency and reduce water company leaks, alongside investing in new supply infrastructure, including new reservoirs and water transfers.

Water companies have a statutory duty to provide a secure supply of water for customers, efficiently and economically and to set out how they plan to continue to supply water to their customers for the next 25 years through statutory Water Resources Management Plans (WRMPs). Defra works with regulators to closely monitor WRMP delivery through annual reviews.

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what her policy is on Ofwat considering (a) measures to reduce reliance on single sources of water supply and (b) long-term asset health and resilience in future price determinations.

Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Government is committed to increasing our water supply while protecting the environment and public health. We are taking a twin track approach to improving water supply resilience. This involves urgent action to reduce water company leaks and use drinking water and rainwater more efficiently, alongside new supply infrastructure, including new reservoirs and water transfers.

In the Water White Paper, the government set out our commitment to developing statutory resilience standards, which will be brought forward through the Clean Water Bill announced in the King’s Speech. These standards will ensure companies secure the long-term resilience of their water supply and sewerage systems.

Alongside the development of forward-looking asset health metrics to ensure critical infrastructure gets the funding that it needs, these standards will safeguard customer services in the context of a changing climate as well as population growth and other pressures.

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department plans to (a) designate and (b) deliver a national water transfer network to enable the movement of water between regions.

Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Government is committed to a twin track approach to improving water resilience. This involves urgent action to improve water efficiency and reduce water company leaks, alongside investing in new supply infrastructure, including new reservoirs and water transfers. £104 billion of private sector investment has been secured for the 2025-2030 period. This will fund essential infrastructure. For water supplies, this will progress delivery of nine new reservoirs and large-scale water transfer schemes by 2050.

Water companies have a statutory duty to provide a secure supply of water for customers. When preparing their Water Resources Management Plans, they must consider all options, including demand management and new water resources infrastructure, including reservoirs and transfers.

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of placing the Regulators’ Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development on a statutory footing with powers to coordinate delivery of major water infrastructure projects across company boundaries.

Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

We have committed to ensuring that the Regulators’ Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development (RAPID) continues to coordinate and assure major infrastructure delivery, supporting faster delivery and avoiding duplication before being incorporated into the new regulator.

We also support RAPID’s consultation on expanding its remit to include wastewater and other strategic projects. This aims to strengthen regulatory coordination, accelerate delivery, and enhance infrastructure resilience across regions.

Defra is also supporting the delivery of water infrastructure through the Water Delivery Taskforce, chaired by Minister Hardy to ensure that water companies deliver the infrastructure required to support economic growth and long-term resilience.

Additionally, Defra has established the Senior Sponsorship Group which brings together senior decision-makers, the Environment Agency, Natural England, Ofwat, the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA), and water companies to identify and resolve barriers to major water infrastructure projects.

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to introduce mandatory water efficiency requirements for (a) data centres and (b) other large non-household users.

Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

In February, Government committed to looking at ways to help drive the uptake of water reuse and rainwater management for large non-household water users including data centres within the Water White Paper. Non-household businesses are encouraged to enquire about water efficiency audits through their water retailer to suggest and implement areas for improvement, including fixing leaks across the property.

The Government encourages developers to consider use of non-potable water, to embed water efficiency or water recycling and reuse in their design and contact their proposed water and wastewater supplier early in the planning process to understand and plan for any potential water restrictions.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with her Nigerian counterpart on the release of people abducted from churches and improving protection for places of worship in the last three months.

Answered by Chris Elmore - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

Since my statement to the House on 27 November 2025 (HWCS1105), we have continued to raise the importance of Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) with the Nigerian authorities on a regular basis.

The Special Envoy for FoRB, David Smith MP, visited Nigeria in May, where he met with Nigerian Government figures including the National Security Advisor and Minister of Information to discuss promoting interreligious dialogue and tackling the causes of insecurity.

In April, the Minister of State for International Development and Africa, Baroness Chapman, attended the opening of the Nigeria Peace Summit, bringing together senior Muslim and Christian leaders to support Nigerian-led approaches to reducing intercommunal violence.

And earlier this month, Baroness Chapman visited Kaduna State to see how UK support is helping to address insecurity and protect communities of all faiths and beliefs.
