Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of progress on reducing hepatitis C-related liver cancers and mortality since the 2004 Action Plan for hepatitis C.
This question was answered on 4th February 2015
The most recent data published by Public Health England in its hepatitis C in the UK 2014 Report, show that cases of hepatitis C related end stage liver disease and liver cancer are increasing. NHS England and Public Health England are working together to address this by developing a joint framework to improve the management of this disease. This framework will be launched in due course.
