Alan Milburn does not have a role in the Department of Health and Social Care.</p><p>It is also entirely legitimate for Government Departments to invite people with a wide range of experience and insight to advise on policy debates and discussions. We do not ask them all to declare their interests.</p> answering member printed Baroness Merron question first answered 19/09/2024 13:17:25 answering member 347 label Biography information for Baroness Merron
