Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Lord Kamall on 8 September (HL Deb, col 272), whether they will provide an update on the progress of commissioning an independent review into the causes of disputes between those with parental responsibility and those responsible for the care or medical treatment of critically ill children.

The Department is currently examining the commissioning process for the review and further information will be available in due course.
