Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will appoint an allergy tsar to act as a champion within Government for people living with allergic disease.
Answered by Gillian Keegan - Secretary of State for Education
We have no current plans to do so. Clinical advice and leadership is provided by the clinical reference group for specialised allergy and immunology services. While there is currently no specific National Clinical Director or Specialty Adviser for routine allergy services, NHS England and NHS Improvement keep this position under review and new National Clinical Directors or Specialty Advisers are appointed as necessary. We are currently working with delivery partners and stakeholders to ensure there is the appropriate workforce, clinical leadership and expert guidance in place to support those living with allergies.
