answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2017 answer text <p>It is recognised that Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) can have a significant impact on the early years development of children, their behaviours and their life chances. The Department has been exploring the feasibility of commissioning new research in the area of FASD. However, identifying methodologically feasible and robust new research in this area is challenging, expensive and faces ethical challenges.</p><p> </p><p>The World Health Organization is starting a global prevalence study on FASD, recognising that this information is lacking in many countries. There are a number of challenges on the feasibility of estimating prevalence, which should be addressed in this study. We welcome this study and will consider the lessons for further work in the United Kingdom.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 10/02/2017 09:04:39 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the guidance to health commissioners to mandate providers to complete minimum data sets, what assessment they have made of whether high quality, safe and non-discriminatory care is being provided to black and minority ethnic groups.
tabling member printed	Lord Boateng
uin	HL8067
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2016 answer text <p>As reflected in the first principle of the NHS Constitution, the National Health Service is committed to providing high quality, safe and non-discriminatory care for its users irrespective of their of protected characteristics. NHS organisations are subject to the public sector equality duty and other provisions of The Equality Act 2010 in carrying out their public functions and services. This means that they must think about the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination and advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic, such as race, and those who do not. Compliance with equality duties is embedded in the NHS regulatory framework and NHS organisations can be challenged in the courts if they fail to comply. As part of their enforcement powers, the Equality and Human Rights Commission can also take action against NHS organisations to ensure compliance.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 11/05/2016 15:57:10 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton
