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 15 December 2022 to Question 104474 on Health Services: Travellers, if he will make a comparative assessment of the level of engagement with the GP Patient Survey by (a) Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller people and (b) the overall population in the latest period for which data is available.

There are no plans to make a specific assessment. The survey sample derived from the Personal Demographics Service, which does not hold information on patients’ ethnic group and therefore the number of people in each ethnic group invited to participate.
