This question was answered on 22nd June 2026
It is regrettable that the Department for Health and Social Care has missed the 10 day response target for Questions for Written Answer in recent times. The department is seeing a significant increase in the volume of questions which has impacted on their system, I have been given reassurances that they are focusing on this area as a priority.
I regularly raise the importance of meeting the 10 day target to all Lords Ministers at our weekly Front Bench meetings.
