Defra ministers and officials meet stakeholders regularly to engage on the wide range of issues regarding air quality. I have hosted a number of roundtable discussions in preparing the draft Clean Air Strategy, meeting with a wide range of organisations representing public health interests, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), to discuss health impacts from particulate matter and how these could be reduced, and how we can improve the information provided about air pollution, forecasts and health impacts.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Officials continue regular engagement with a wide range of these organisations during and after the consultation on the draft Clean Air Strategy, and are pursuing a number of ideas for joint working on improving communications about health and pollution, including child health.<\/p>

This is a devolved matter.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Defra does not fund studies into the effect of air pollution on child health as this falls more in the remit of bodies such as the Department of Health and Social Care or Public Health England.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We have consulted on our new Clean Air Strategy, which sets out how we are investing £10 million in improving our modelling, data and analytical tools to give a more precise picture of current and future air quality and the impact of policies to improve it in the future. We will continue to work in collaboration with research councils who are funding a large programme of research on air pollution.<\/p>
