Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reasons there is not a lead official for allergy in his Department.
Since 1 April 2013, NHS England has been responsible for securing high quality outcomes for people with long term conditions, including allergies. Departmental staff support ministers on a wide range of issues, including those concerning allergies, and work closely with NHS England to secure the necessary expertise when needed.
