Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when the implementation framework for hepatitis C being developed by Public Health England, NHS England, the Department of Health and voluntary bodies will be published.
Public Health England, the Department of Health and NHS England are committed to reducing the burden of disease from hepatitis C through a suite of activities to improve awareness, prevention, testing and diagnosis, referral into care, and treatment outcomes.
A key element of this work is the development of an improvement framework for hepatitis C, which we hope to publish in early 2015.
