Written Answers
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long Covid
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington)
Wednesday 5th March 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether steps to strengthen care for (a) ME, (b) Long Covid and (c) other infection-associated chronic conditions will be included in plans to bolster the UK’s preparedness for future pandemics.

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

Ensuring that the United Kingdom is prepared for a future pandemic is a top priority for the Government, and we are embedding lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic in our approach to pandemic preparedness. We aim to have flexible, adaptable, and scalable capabilities that can respond to any infectious disease or other threat, rather than relying on plans for specific threats.

The Government’s response to module one of the COVID-19 inquiry sets out the changes we have made to risk planning and data management to help ensure that we are reducing any disproportionate impacts on any groups or individuals, and targeting support where it can be of best help in civil emergency planning and management. The response is available at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-government-response-to-the-covid-19-inquiry-module-1-report

The Government is committed to ensuring that there are quality services for people suffering with long COVID in every part of the country. NHS England has invested significantly in supporting people with long COVID. This includes setting up specialist post-COVID-19 services nationwide for adults, and children and young people, developing digital self-management tools, and investing in ensuring that general practice teams are equipped to support people affected by the condition.

The Government has also invested over £57 million into long COVID research. This aims to improve our understanding of the diagnosis and underlying mechanisms of the disease and the effectiveness of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies and interventions, and to evaluate clinical care.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington)
Wednesday 5th March 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Care, if he will ensure that the cross-government delivery plan for ME/CFS will include (a) an apology to patients for their historic treatment and (b) clear steps that demonstrate his commitment to delivering a new approach.

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

The content of the myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), delivery plan has not yet been finalised. The responses to the 2023 interim delivery plan consultation, along with continued close engagement with stakeholders, will inform the development of the final ME/CFS delivery plan, which we aim to publish in the coming months. The plan will focus on boosting research, improving attitudes and education, and bettering the lives of people with this debilitating disease.

People with ME/CFS deserve the most appropriate treatment and to be confident that the National Health Service can offer that treatment. I recognise that care for people with ME/CFS has varied widely, and in the worst cases has left some people feeling that their illness is not recognised by the health and care system. We know that more research, better services, and a better understanding of the condition all have the potential to make a huge difference to the quality of life of people with ME/CFS.

British Nationality
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington)
Tuesday 11th March 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's Good character: caseworker guidance, updated on 13 February 2025, what definition her Department uses of exceptional, compelling, and mitigating circumstances.

Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities)

An exceptional case is one where on the facts of the case, the application would normally be refused but there are mitigating circumstances which mean it would be appropriate to grant. The policy guidance contains a non-exhaustive list of examples of where applications may be granted


British Nationality
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington)
Tuesday 11th March 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential psychological impact of the updated good character guidance on (a) people in the asylum system and (b) people with leave to remain.

Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities)

The assessment of good character has been part of the citizenship process since the British Nationality Act 1981, but each individual continues to have their application considered on a case by case basis, taking these individual circumstances into account.

Personal Independence Payment
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington)
Thursday 6th March 2025

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will take steps to increase awareness of PIP.

Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

DWP has already taken steps to help ensure everyone living with health conditions or a disability is aware of benefits that they can claim, including Personal Independence Payment (PIP). There are no current plans to undertake further activity.

Comprehensive information is available on Gov.uk, which explains who PIP is for and how to claim. This includes a series of videos which provide information on PIP which helps people to understand whether PIP is right for them and to support them through the process if they decide to claim.

Department for Work and Pensions: Disclosure of Information
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington)
Monday 10th March 2025

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to increase transparency in her Department.

Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

We want to be more open about the work taken forward within the department. We will continue to look at what information can be shared to further increase transparency, taking into consideration constraints that we can’t ignore, such as protecting personal customer information, and policy development and other risks.

A great example of increasing transparency can be seen with the work the department is taking forward to continue building on the information it started publishing in its Annual Report and Accounts two years ago. Detailing the work of its Advanced Customer Support Teams, and the support for vulnerable customers.

To further increase transparency in this area we will soon be releasing two separate publications. One publication will see us release Internal Process Review information for the first time, showing the learning and improvements taken forward from the departments most serious cases. The second is a publication that highlights and explains how DWP, specifically through its Advanced Customer Support teams, is delivering support for vulnerable customers and the improvements that were delivered to help those who require additional support.

Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

We have no plans to amend section 127 of the Criminal Justice Act 1994.

There have been no recent discussions with private prison contractors on this matter.
