Written Question
Roads: Safety
Wednesday 4th June 2025

Asked by: Cat Smith (Labour - Lancaster and Wyre)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she plans to publish a new road safety strategy.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Improving road safety is one of my key priorities. Too many people are killed and seriously injured in road traffic collisions, and this Government will work hard to prevent these tragedies for all road users. That is why we are developing our Road Safety Strategy and will set out more details in due course. At the Transport Select Committee in April 2025, the Secretary of State set out that we hope to publish the Strategy later this year.

Sodium Valproate: Compensation
Wednesday 28th May 2025

Asked by: Cat Smith (Labour - Lancaster and Wyre)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 16 May 2025 to Question 51501 on Sodium Valproate: Compensation, which Government departments he is having discussions with on developing a timetable for implementation of the recommendations of the Hughes Report.

Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Government is carefully considering the valuable work done by the Patient Safety Commissioner and the resulting Hughes Report, which set out options for financial and non-financial redress for those harmed by valproate and pelvic mesh. Department officials are liaising with other parts of the Government, including the National Health Service, the Department for Work and Pensions, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, the Department for Business and Trade, HM Treasury, and the devolved administrations, on the needs of patients and on the recommendations. We will be providing an update to the Patient Safety Commissioner’s report at the earliest opportunity.
