	answer	answer answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling intimidation and violence against journalists wherever it occurs, including in Commonwealth countries, and to challenging impunity for such crimes. The Foreign Secretary highlighted our determination to address this issue on the International Day to End Impunity for Attacks Against Journalists on 2 November, announcing our intention to put the resources of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) behind the cause of media freedom and to hold an international conference on this issue, in 2019. We welcome the attention UNESCO has given to this problem.</p><p>We support the work of the Commonwealth Working Group on Media and Good Governance on Commonwealth principles of freedom of expression and the role of the media in good governance, and their continued efforts to prepare them for consideration at the Heads of Government meeting in Rwanda in 2020. Officials from the FCO and Cabinet Office have offered advice and support to members of the Working Group, most recently on 12 November 2018. The Working Group was given the opportunity to brief all member states on the proposed principles at senior official level, ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in April 2018. However, there was no consensus amongst member states for the principles to be formally included on Heads' agenda or in their official communiqué. We have discussed the principles with the Commonwealth Secretariat on several occasions since the Heads of Government Meeting. We continue to encourage the Working Group to work with member states and the Secretariat to build consensus towards adoption of the principles.</p> question first answered 27/11/2018 13:38:31 answering member 4210

	answer	answer answer text <p>Following the announcement in June 2018, the Prime Minister has asked the National Health Service to develop a long term plan for the service. The plan will set out how the NHS will develop over the coming years, underpinned by a five-year funding offer which will see the NHS budget grow by over £20.5 billion a year in real terms by 2023-24. It provides an excellent opportunity to look at how HIV and other services can be further improved over the next decade. The plan is currently in development and will be published later in the year.</p> question first answered 27/11/2018 15:31:11 answering member 4545

Consequently, there are a large number of biomarkers, many of which are used in standard testing practice and so are not specifically referred to in NICE guidance. Multiple and combinations of biomarkers are often used to provide prognostic information and companies developing tests often create their own combinations.</p><p>As many tests look for multiple biomarkers for a single purpose and many tests in standard practice provide prognostic information, NICE is unable to provide categorical information on prognostic tests.</p> question first answered 27/11/2018 15:29:48 answering member 4545

The GMS will bring together existing clinical genetics services and the new genomic laboratory infrastructure to provide seamless service delivery for patients with rare and inherited disease and cancer.</p> question first answered 27/11/2018 15:48:42 answering member 4545
