Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, in context of the UK Health Security Agency participation in the Partnership for the Risk Assessment of Chemicals, what planned activities the agency has as a participating organisation; and whether the agency plans to conduct human biomonitoring to monitor exposure within the UK population to harmful chemicals, including hormone disrupting chemicals.

The UK Health Security Agency and United Kingdom participants are involved in all aspects of the Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals, including the assessment of human exposures to environmental pollutants and environmental monitoring of chemicals of concern. The Partnership is currently determining its priorities which will be published online in due course.
