Health Services: Public Consultation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to FOI-1626381, what methods of engagement were used by the Department to engage with individuals from (a) the travelling community and (b) the sex worker community as part of the development of the 10-Year Health Plan.

Answer

To develop the 10-Year Health Plan, we had the biggest ever conversation on the future of the National Health Service with over a quarter of a million contributions from the public, staff, and partners including charities and patient groups.

A detailed 10-Year Health Plan engagement report will be published in due course, which will set out the methodology and results of this engagement exercise.
