Membership of Cabinet Committees (including sub committees) is decided by the Prime Minister. The Department works closely with the Department for Exiting the European Union on a day to day basis to ensure our interests are taken forward in negotiations for exiting the EU and the Secretary of State for Health is invited to attend Cabinet Committees when a matter directly affecting health comes up.

The Government is committed to ensuring leaving the EU is a success for the health and social care sector as well as the United Kingdom as a whole.
