Recommendation P2-75: Government responsible for implementation monitoring
From Fuller Inquiry Phase 2 Report, published 15 July 2025.
Recommendation
The government should take responsibility for the implementation of all the recommendations we make in this Report, regardless of the primary organisation they are directed at, and make arrangements to monitor the progress of their implementation.
In brief (written by this site)
In July 2026, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health Innovation and Safety Preet Kaur Gill reported that the government has worked through a dedicated cross-government programme board with partner organisations to consider each recommendation and determine required action (Preet Kaur Gill, Jul 2026). The Department of Health and Social Care previously confirmed in June 2026, reiterating its December 2025 interim update, that it established the programme board in July 2025 to scope and progress recommendations across government and with other responsible organisations (Department of Health and Social Care response, Dec 2025; Department of Health and Social Care, Jun 2026).

How this response relates to the recommendation
Site note: This is the Department of Health and Social Care's interim update on government progress in responding to the phase 2 report, published on 16 December 2025. It sorts the 75 recommendations into those the government has accepted in full (11), accepted in principle (43) and is still considering (21), and gives words of its own only on the 11 accepted in full. Every word is the Department's, so the rows are filed under it, including where the passage reports what another body has done.
Site note: The recommendation is addressed to the Department itself.
Delivery

Site note: Written ministerial statement HCWS261, made on 15 July 2026 by the Department of Health and Social Care. It gives no per-recommendation breakdown, and it says the Government "remains committed to providing a full response to Sir Jonathan Michael's report once the leadership period for Prime Minister has concluded". That full response had not been published when these rows were recorded.
Site note: The source does not name this recommendation by number. It is recorded here because it addresses the arrangements the government made to take responsibility for implementation and to monitor progress.
