§ Mr. Sarwar
To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on his policy on caring for Muslim patients. [130949]

§ Yvette Cooper
The Department's strategy for meeting the needs of minority ethnic communities, including Muslims, is to mainstream race equality issues into all aspects of its work, including policy development, NHS and social care service delivery and workforce issues. This approach was set out in the race equality agenda of the Department, published in January, and copies have been placed in the Library.
