answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>Health is a devolved matter in Northern Ireland. The honourable Member may find it useful to refer to the answer I gave on 29 October which confirms that preparatory work is underway within the Department of Health in Northern Ireland to allow for the introduction of HPV to boys in Northern Ireland, if and when such a decision is taken by a Health Minister in Northern Ireland. This approach reflects the fact that health policy is devolved in Northern Ireland and so the decision whether to introduce the HPV vaccine for boys is one for Northern Ireland Ministers to take.</p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 01/11/2018 15:22:40 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
