question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve the rates of colour vision deficiency among men.
tabling member constituency	East Londonderry
tabling member printed	Mr Gregory Campbell
uin	27030
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2021 answer text <p>In the majority of cases, colour vision deficiency is caused by a hereditary genetic fault. Due to the pattern of inheritance, the condition most commonly appears in males, with females being carriers rather than expressing the condition, resulting in much higher rates among men. Colour vision deficiency acquired later in life may improve with treatment for the underlying cause. Sight tests are recommended every two years, although some people will be advised to attend more frequently due to increased risk factors.</p><p>However, occasionally colour vision deficiency may develop later in life as a result of other factors such as a side effect of certain medications and underlying health conditions, such as glaucoma and diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy can lead to problems with vision, including colour vision deficiency. The National Health Service diabetes prevention programme identifies those at high risk of developing diabetes and refers them for tailored, personalised education. Diabetic retinopathy screening is also offered to anyone over the age of 12 years old who has diabetes.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 19/07/2021 12:32:37 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 12673 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

uin	148721
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2021 answer text <p>No new contracts were awarded to suppliers by the Department for face coverings or face masks since July 2020.</p><p>The outbreak of COVID-19 placed extreme strain on the global supply chain of personal protective equipment (PPE) and procuring PPE was a significant challenge many countries were posed with. This led to a significant surge in demand in global markets, increased competition and limited supply. These factors resulted in vast increases in the cost of PPE including face masks.</p><p>The United Kingdom market for face masks has stabilised since the first peak in 2020 and we have now moved to a stable situation which has equipped us for any further spikes or waves. If we need to procure more face masks for frontline workers, we anticipate this to be at the prevailing price point.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 10/02/2021 17:24:02 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 81184 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
