Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that the health needs of people living with HIV are addressed in the long-term plan for the NHS.

The Prime Minister announced in June her intention to work with the National Health Service to develop a 10-year plan for the future of the health service, underpinned by a five-year funding offer which will see the NHS budget grow by over £20.5 billion a year in real terms by 2023-24. NHS leaders are currently writing their plan, led by clinicians, professionals and supported by local health and care systems across the country. The plan will set a vision for the health service and ensure every penny is well spent.
