Diana Johnson – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Diana Johnson on 2014-06-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what discussions he has had with the Scottish Executive about the timetable for publication of the Penrose Inquiry.

Jane Ellison

The timetable for Lord Penrose to complete his report and publish it, is a matter for Lord Penrose himself to decide. Lord Penrose has publicly announced that he will publish his report in the autumn of 2014, but we do not know the exact date. We are keeping in touch with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Well Being of the Scottish Government.
