Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans his Department has to introduce further measures at airports to prevent the spread of Ebola to the UK.

The Government has put in place enhanced screening and monitoring at the United Kingdom’s main ports of entry for people travelling from the affected Ebola regions.

The risk of transmission occurring within the community in the UK is, and remains very low due to the range of robust measures that have been put in place including screening. However, we keep the screening programme under regular review and will take into account any significant changes in the factors underpinning this assessment.
