The Department works across Government, including with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, on many of the issues highlighted in the report.</p><p> </p><p>Both Departments are signatories to the ‘Health through the Home’ Memorandum of Understanding with Public Health England (PHE).

Shared Services would also not hold details for a rejected voluntary downgrade. Therefore, to locate and collate the information requested would require a manual check of all employee files across the Ministry of Justice and its Arm’s Length bodies, which would exceed the cost limit.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 07/11/2018 17:16:44 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
