answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2024 answer text <p>As the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care stated in Parliament on 9 September 2024, it is absolutely right that people appointed to roles in public life declare their conflicts of interest so that they can be assessed when taking decisions or exercising powers to ensure that they are doing so in a way that manages those conflicts of interest and no conflict arises. 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
