Question

Sir John Hayes

Conservative — South Holland and The Deepings

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many times (a) Ministers and (b) officials in his Department met representatives from Mermaids since 2020.

Answer

I have not met with Mermaids in my time as a Minister in the Department. Ministerial meetings with external organisations are routinely published on GOV.uk.

Information on how many times officials have met with representatives from Mermaids could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
