Scope of the consultation

The Department of Health in England negotiates on behalf of the UK, working closely with the other Health Departments.

Health Departments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will therefore be sharing their responses with the Department of Health in England to inform one overall UK negotiating position. The UK Government will publish a response to the consultation.
