Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps their Department is taking to improve the response time to FOI requests.

A performance recovery plan was implemented during 2022. Subsequently, we have exceeded the 90% expectation of responding to FOI requests within 20 working days in each month during 2023.
