<p>As Leader of the House I take very seriously the responsibility incumbent on all
Ministers and departments to provide full, timely and comprehensive answers to Questions
for Written Answers. The Department for Health and Social Care received 1206 QWAs
in 2021 compared to 599 in 2019, and have doubled the size of the relevant team to
deal with the increased work and pressure.</p><p>My office approach departments who
have not responded to questions after 10 working days, and remain in contact with
them until the questions are answered. This process has been followed with the Department
of Health and Social Care, and my office will continue to work with the department
during this busy period to ensure prompt responses to all Questions for Written Answers.</p>
