Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many public health representatives he has met to discuss (a) tobacco, (b) obesity and (c) alcohol harm; and whether he plans to meet more public health organisations in the New Year to discuss those issues.
Details of ministers’ meetings with external individuals and organisations are published quarterly in arrears on GOV.UK website. Data for the period of July to September 2024 will be published in due course.
I can confirm that Department ministers expect to continue to engage with prevention and public health stakeholders across a number of important issues next year.
