Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many formal meetings there have been between a minister and either (1) the senior manager, or (2) the clinical lead at NHS England, with responsibility for the learning from lives and deaths programme since July 2024, and on which dates those meetings took place.

There have been regular conversations between the relevant minister, Department officials, and senior clinical and managerial leads at NHS England in relation to improving overall health outcomes for people with a learning disability and autistic people. Insights from the programme of learning from the lives and deaths of people with a learning disability and autistic people plays an important role in shaping these broader conversations about tackling health inequalities and improving identification, access to, and the quality of services.
