Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress his Department has made on the implementation of the delivery plan for recovering urgent and emergency care services; and whether the plan is being delivered on schedule.

The Department and NHS England are working closely together to ensure robust governance arrangements are in place to support the implementation of the plan. Good progress has been made and work is ongoing to deliver the interventions ahead of next winter.
