17th Jul 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of access to primary care services.

Too many patients are finding it impossible to access care. In May, a staggering 1.4 million patients waited for over a month for an appointment.

That is why we are committed to: fix the front door to the NHS; bring back the family doctor; and shift the focus of care away from hospitals and into the community.

Stephen Kinnock
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
4th Oct 2024
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will re-establish the Office of Government Commerce.

There are no plans to re-establish the Office of Government Commerce (OGC). The principal functions of the OGC are being successfully delivered by the Government Commercial Function including the Crown Commercial Service.

Darren Jones
Chief Secretary to the Treasury
8th Oct 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to ensure the future of the UK's submersible capabilities.

This Government’s unwavering commitment to the triple lock to our nuclear deterrent is underpinned by major infrastructure programmes underway on the Clyde and in Devonport and the Dreadnought submarine programme in Barrow-in-Furness.

Our commitment to SSN-AUKUS and the increased use of uncrewed submersibles will also modernise the Royal Navy’s subsea capabilities.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the recall rate was for offenders released under the End of Custody Supervised License scheme between October 2023 and June 2024.

The recall rate for people released under the End of Custody Supervised Licence (ECSL) scheme that have been recalled in the most recent period for which data is available could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.

9,782 number of recalls took place between April 2024 and June 2024, which coincides with the highest level of quarterly ECSL releases under the previous Government.
