A cross-party group of MPs says the UK does not have sufficient publicly available information on how it would respond to a future outbreak of Ebola. The Health and Social Care Committee (HSSC), made up of 11 MPs, has asked the Government to explain whether Britain is prepared if Ebola emerges again or spreads internationally. The committee’s concerns are linked to France’s reported first Ebola case, which has prompted renewed scrutiny of readiness across Europe. In its request, the HSSC seeks clarification on what plans are in place for detection, public health action, and outbreak management, and whether these measures are documented in a way the public and relevant stakeholders can access. The reports note that the committee is raising questions about the lack of a published government plan, rather than asserting what operational capability the UK possesses. The Government is expected to respond to the committee’s questions regarding preparedness and the availability of its outbreak strategy.
