All those who are assessed at screening in the United Kingdom as being at high risk because of their exposure history are asked to monitor their temperature twice daily and report this on a daily basis to the local health protection team for 21 days from the date they left a country of interest (currently Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone). Those who are considered at low risk are asked to monitor their temperature twice daily and report any rise in temperature to their local health protection team. As requested, local health protection teams will also follow up with particular individuals.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 24/11/2014 17:31:27 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

The review considered research from the Environment Agency, peer reviewed epidemiological studies and statements from the independent expert committee, the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer products and the Environment.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The review concluded that there has been no new evidence to change the previous advice that living close to a well-managed landfill site does not pose a significant risk to human health. As noted in the review, detailed site-specific risk assessment should remain an important part of the permitting and management process. PHE is consulted by the Environment Agency when they receive permit applications and variations for landfill sites, to ensure that public health is protected.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 01/12/2014 17:29:07 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
