Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment has been made of the risks to the health of survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire of their exposure to smoke and dust.

Public Health England (PHE) is continuing to commission monitoring for pollutants that have both short and long-term effects, to assess whether there is any risk to public health as a result of the Grenfell fire.

PHE will keep local people updated with results. Individuals who were directly impacted by the smoke and who were admitted to hospital are being followed up by respiratory physicians at Imperial College NHS Trust.
