On 8 April we published guidance for unpaid carers on GOV.UK, which includes general advice, links to other information and support, and advice on caring where someone has symptoms. We have provided funding to extend Carers UK’s helpline, information and advice services so unpaid carers are able to access trusted information and advice. We have listened to unpaid carers’ concerns about getting access to testing and have made them a priority group for COVID-19 testing. We will continue to work closely with carer organisations and others to support unpaid carers during this period.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 10/11/2020 12:52:29 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 44309 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2020 answer text <p>Enzyme replacement therapy for CLN2 (Batten disease) is available through a managed access agreement. In Batten disease, the enzyme replacement therapy is administered into the cerebrospinal fluid by infusion via a surgically implanted intracerebroventricular access device. It can only be given in a healthcare setting by a trained healthcare professional knowledgeable in this specific administration. Given the complexity of the procedure, the training, equipment and governance required and the small numbers of patients with the disease, this is currently provided by one expert centre. NHS England is evaluating whether other centres have the expertise and infrastructure to provide the drug.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 14/09/2020 19:05:57 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 44306 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2020 answer text <p>Batten disease is not one of the specific health conditions identified by expert clinicians and signed off by the Chief Medical Officer that put someone at greatest risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Some patients with Batten disease may have been advised to shield, but this will be because they have been recommended to do so by their general practitioner or hospital specialist, due to other health conditions or individual clinical circumstances. National shielding advice has been paused since 1 August, although it remains in place for some local areas where incidence of the disease remains high.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 08/09/2020 12:54:32 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 44307 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
