Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the timetable is for completion and release of the hepatitis C improvement framework.
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.
