Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what efficiency savings he plans to make to meet planned reductions of £200 million in his Department's budget.
As part of wider Government action on deficit reduction, the Department will deliver savings of £200 million in 2015/16 from a reduction in the Local Government Public Health Grant. We will be consulting on the best way of delivering the savings that need to be made.
