Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the role of the National Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine in Sheffield in the future of the NHS.

The Department will not be making any assessment of the role of the National Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine (NCSEM) in the future of the National Health Service. The Department provided a capital grant to establish the NCSEM in 2013. Upon its establishment, Public Health England inherited the oversight of the capital funding spend on behalf of the Government. This formal role ended upon completion of the final works in 2016.
