answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) collects data on people in prison tested for blood-borne viruses (BBVs) via the Sentinel Surveillance Study. This system does not currently receive reports from all prisons in England where testing occurs currently 28 prisons report data. Table 1 below shows data from this system on the total number of prisoners tested positive for BBVs in the calendar years 2012-2014. Similar information from this study for the year 2015 will not be available until mid-2016. NHS England also collects data on levels of testing for BBVs in prisons via the Health &amp; Justice Indicators of Performance. The numbers of positive tests for BBVs in these data are presented in Table 2 using currently available data. The higher number is due to the greater coverage of prisons by this dataset.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1: Reported levels of positive tests for BBVs for people in prisons for calendar years 2012-14</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2014</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>hepatitis B</p></td><td><p>60</p></td><td><p>51</p></td><td><p>49</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>hepatitis C</p></td><td><p>456</p></td><td><p>400</p></td><td><p>327</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HIV</p></td><td><p>16</p></td><td><p>19</p></td><td><p>16</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: PHE Sentinel Surveillance Study</p><p>Table 2: Reported levels of positive tests for BBVs for people in prisons from April 2015 to December 2015</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>April 2015 – December 2015</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>hepatitis B</p></td><td><p>743</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>hepatitis C</p></td><td><p>2164</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HIV</p></td><td><p>1777</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: NHS England</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

answer text <p>People diagnosed with hepatitis C infection in prison may be treated in prison (through an ‘in-reach’ care programme) or as outpatients via specialist services in National Health Service acute trusts or via a ‘mixed model’. Data on patients treated while in prison or whose treatment is continued following release are held by specialist service providers locally within Operational Delivery Networks and are not currently available centrally.</p> more like this

question text To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord Prior of Brampton on 11 February (HL5909, HL5910 and HL5960) and 12 February (HL5909), what specific licence conditions have been required by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) in accordance with its Code of Practice in order to resolve any potential or perceived conflict between the demand for sufficient numbers of zygotes to perform genome editing successfully and the usual practice of transferring embryos to the uterus following assessment of their potential to develop further after at least two to three days; what reasons the person responsible provided when requesting that reference to surplus embryos should be removed from the research project title; and whether they will now place in the Library of the House copies of the patient information and consent forms submitted to the HFEA by the person responsible in order to perform genome editing in human embryos by means of CRISPR-Cas9. more like this

answer text <p>The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) publishes on its website the inspection report relating to a licence renewal application and the minutes of the Licence Committee’s decision. It does not publish other information associated with a licence application.</p><p> </p><p>The Licence Committee considering the application to which the noble Lord refers was satisfied that the requirements of General Directions 0008 were met, with the exception of evidence of ethics approval, which must be submitted to the HFEA before any licensed research can begin.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The HFEA has advised that licence conditions R18-R27 and T97 address any potential conflict between the use of embryos in research and the use of embryos in the provision of treatment services. The person responsible did not give a reason on the application form for requesting that reference to surplus embryos should be removed from the research project title, nor are they required to do so. The removal of ‘surplus’ from the title does not reflect a change in the way embryos will be donated to the research.</p>
