Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many times, and in which NHS regions of England, the outcome of commissioned health and justice service contracts have been referred to the Independent Patient and Procurement Panel in each of the past two years.

The panel has received two representations regarding Health and Justice services. The panel accepted one case for review and did not review the other case. The case that the panel accepted was in the North West of England.
