Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what input they had into the NHS Surge and Triage briefing paper drawn up by NHS England in 2016 following a pandemic planning exercise which discussed the withdrawal of hospital care from elderly patients in the event of a severe flu pandemic.
The draft 2016 briefing paper was developed by NHS England and NHS Improvement for clinical deliberation and discussion with the then Chief Medical Officer.
