Written Question
Disease Control
Tuesday 9th December 2025

Asked by: Johanna Baxter (Labour - Paisley and Renfrewshire South)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what timeframes his Department will set out to implement the findings of Exercise Pegasus.

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

Live participation in Exercise PEGASUS has now concluded, although a fourth phase, centred around recovery, is planned to be exercised in 2026. A published post-exercise report will include learning and findings from this and all preceding phases and this will be delivered in due course following detailed evaluation. The United Kingdom uses a Lead Government Department model to cover all phases of emergency planning, response, recovery, and risk assessment. Ministers within the Department, as the Lead Government Department for a pandemic response, will continue to actively consider the implementation of the findings from Exercise PEGASUS.
