Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment (a) his Department and (b) The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities have made of the potential health impacts of disrupted sleep.

Through ‘Advancing Our Health: Prevention in the 2020s’, the Government committed to review the evidence on sleep and health, and that review was completed by Public Health England. The review looked at the relationship between sleep and physical and mental health, optimum levels of sleep for children and adolescents, and factors that can both hinder and promote healthy sleep.
