Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when her Department plans to respond to written parliamentary questions 32531, 32532 and 32967 of the 9th October 2026.
Answer
I apologise to the Hon. Member for the delay in responding to her questions of 9 October, and I refer her to the answers she received on 2 November in response.
Verdict: RED (22/100)
The reply apologises for the delay and refers the Member to answers given on 2 November, but it does not clearly confirm that those earlier answers cover the three questions (PQ 32531, 32532 and 32967). It also gives no date for when a response to any of them will be provided. The reply is therefore mostly vague, and the Member would likely need to ask again for specific answers.
How we got there
| Question item | Coverage | Specificity | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| When the Department plans to respond to written parliamentary question 32531 of 9 October 2026. | Partially Addressed | Hedged | The reply apologises for the delay and refers the Member to answers given on 2 November, which implies a response was already provided, but it never states when or whether a response to PQ 32531 is planned and does not confirm that the 2 November answers covered this specific question. |
| When the Department plans to respond to written parliamentary question 32532 of 9 October 2026. | Partially Addressed | Hedged | The same general apology and referral to 2 November answers is given, with no specific reference to PQ 32532 and no planned date or confirmation that it has been answered. |
| When the Department plans to respond to written parliamentary question 32967 of 9 October 2026. | Partially Addressed | Hedged | The reply's apology and referral to 2 November answers do not identify PQ 32967 or give any timing for a response to it, leaving the question of when the Department plans to respond largely unanswered. |
