(asked on 24th July 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with appropriate officials in Northern Ireland on extending access to the HPV vaccination to that part of the UK.
This question was answered on 10th September 2018
Health is a devolved matter and therefore any decision regarding this programme has to be taken by a Northern Ireland Health Minister.
The four United Kingdom Health Departments are in regular contact on a range of issues including this programme. They will continue to discuss and share information while a decision is pending in Northern Ireland.
