	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department is aware that many factors can influence a student’s decision to study languages at GCSE level. As the regulator of qualifications, examinations and assessment in England, Ofqual takes claims of grading severity in modern foreign languages (MFL) seriously. Ofqual is currently conducting a comprehensive review of grading standards in GCSE French, German and Spanish to see if there is a compelling case for an adjustment to grading standards in these subjects. Ofqual’s review will consider statistical evidence, contextual data including trends in the numbers taking these subjects, and the quality of students’ work through looking at how GCSE grades relate to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Ofqual is also gathering the views of subject experts and other stakeholders and is due to report on this work in autumn 2019.</p><p> </p><p>The Department wants to see more pupils taking a language GCSE. We are supporting schools to increase the number of pupils taking GCSEs in languages through several programmes including, the £4.8 million MFL pedagogy programme, an undergraduate digi-mentoring scheme, the £10 million Mandarin Excellence Programme, and targeted communications activity at key points in the school year to challenge misconceptions about studying languages.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 04/06/2019 07:39:28 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

All applications for permits to import hunting trophies into the UK are assessed to make sure that the import would not have a harmful effect on the conservation status of the species or on the extent of the territory occupied by the relevant population of the species. In addition, the applicant must provide documentary evidence, in the form of an export permit that demonstrates that the specimens have been obtained in accordance with the legislation on the protection of the species concerned.</p><p> </p><p>There are import suspensions in place at the EU level for countries where hunting of the species concerned is not considered to be sustainable. The need for any further suspensions is kept under active review.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recently hosted a stakeholder roundtable to hear views from all sides of the debate. We are reviewing existing evidence surrounding trophy hunting and its impact on species and rural communities.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 30/05/2019 10:08:26 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>It is anticipated that NHS England’s new model for specialised haemoglobinopathy services will be in place by early 2020. The new model is designed to improve access to specialist advice and care for patients, irrespective of where they live.</p><p>As part of the new service, NHS England is establishing a National Haemoglobinopathy Panel to provide national multidisciplinary oversight. Patients with complex needs, wherever they live, will be able to be referred to the Panel for expert advice on new treatments and approaches to care. The national service specification will also include guidance for the 13 new born bloodspot screening programme laboratories to refer infants found to be positive for sickle cell disease to the 10 new specialised haemoglobinopathy teams. Whilst NHS England commissions the specialised aspect of haemoglobinopathy care, haemoglobinopathy coordinating centres will be encouraged to link with and support community-based services provided through primary care or community teams based within haemoglobinopathy teams.</p><p>The service specifications for the new specialised haemoglobinopathy teams and the haemoglobinopathy coordinating centres are due to be established in the next month and the associated impact assessment will be published as part of the suite of documents. The equality impact assessment indicates that it will advance the promotion of equality and support the reduction of health inequalities. For example, patients with thalassemia and sickle cell conditions will have equitable access to high quality specialist care and support within specialised commissioned centres irrespective of where in the country they live.</p><p>Hospital Episode Statistics data is attached, showing finished admission episodes with a primary and a primary or secondary diagnosis of sickle cell disorders by NHS England region of residence and Index of Multiple Deprivation decile in the year 2017-18.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy grouped question UIN 256973 256974 257011 question first answered 04/06/2019 16:13:21 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy attachment 1 file name Data Table for Combined Diana Johnson PQs (257011) formatted.xlsx title FAE sickle cell NHS England table
