	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2024 answer text <p>There are no plans to perform assessments of possible impacts of raw sewage on levels of antimicrobic substances, and antibiotic resistance in bacterial communities in our surface waters. To do so would require extensive field monitoring, and analytical challenges would need to be robustly addressed to ascertain whether raw sewage discharges in the presence of other sources are responsible for antimicrobial resistance in river bacteria. However, the Environment Agency has been engaged in the cross government PATHSAFE programme to identify the pathways of antimicrobial resistance to humans and if it were decided necessary, the Agency would advise on the practical steps to undertake such assessments.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Robbie Moore question first answered 17/04/2024 13:01:49 answering member 4861 label Biography information for Robbie Moore

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2024 answer text <p>Defra has been working with the Environment Agency, the UK Health Security Agency, and others, to trial methods for detecting and quantifying antibiotic resistant bacteria in 3 river catchments in England as part of the PATHSAFE programme. The work involved sampling river waters at sites along the length of each river and subject to different land uses and potential sources of resistant bacteria. This work is still in progress, although the Environment Agency has already published some of the preparatory aspects and will publish further reports in the coming months.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Robbie Moore question first answered 14/02/2024 15:44:40 answering member 4861 label Biography information for Robbie Moore
