Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what metrics are used within the health sector to assess structural vulnerability to simultaneous biological and cyber disruptions.

The Department supports the health and social care system to monitor, plan, and respond to the full range of potential risks, and based on lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and previous incidents, we aim to have flexible, adaptable, and scalable capabilities that can respond to any threat, or any combination of threats occurring at the same time.
