Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to her statement of 15 September on the Thirlwall Inquiry and the “recommendation hub to properly track our implementation progress internally, not just for this inquiry but for others right across the NHS”, if she will publish her assessment of progress against the set of recommendations (a) to date and (b) periodically.

The Department of Health and Social Care’s intention is certainly to make the recommendations hub publicly available and update it on a regular basis. We will keep Parliament updated on the publication of the hub in the normal way in due course. In the meantime, once the Government has published its response to the Thirlwall Inquiry recommendations, progress will be published through the Cabinet Office on GOV.UK at the Public Inquiries: Recommendations and the Government Response page, which is available at the following link:
