Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information his Department holds on the effect that regular and long-term use of antiseptic hand gel for infection control has on the health of NHS employees.
The Department does not hold this information. The effect of regular and long-term use of antiseptic hand gel on the health of National Health Service employees is an occupational health issue. Information would be held on confidential individual staff records in organisations.
