Simon Hart (Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Health under which Minister's responsibility rural health falls.
Anne Milton (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Public Health), Health; Guildford, Conservative)
Responsibility for rural health is shared by departmental Ministers across the range of their responsibilities for the national health service, public health and social care. I represent the Department in bi-laterals with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Ministers on rural health as part of my work on wider cross-government health issues.
