It is extremely unlikely that an outbreak of Ebola would occur in <br>the UK even if there was to be an imported case, as there are factors operating <br>in West Africa which would not be seen in the UK. The outbreak in West Africa <br>is driven by person to person spread in the absence of any infection control <br>precautions. Human cases of Ebola virus disease have never yet been exported <br>from an outbreak zone to a European country.<br><br>All UK ports have systems and plans for dealing with issues of public health <br>concern. However, they all require that the public health system is firstly <br>notified of the arrival of someone with a suspected disease of concern. Crew <br>are trained to do this by their respective companies and an example of the type <br>of guidance that they work towards can be found on the International Air <br>Transport Association (the international airline trade body) website at: <br><br><br>https://www.iata.org/whatwedo/safety/health/Documents/health-guidelines-cabin-cr<br>ew-2011.pdf . <br><br>At all UK ports, there is a system for routing reports, produced by the <br>commander of a craft, to a local health protection team who are available on a <br>24/7 basis throughout the year. Health protection teams have generic <br>responsibility for managing incidents of public health concern in all settings <br>including our ports. They will then take the lead in managing the incident from <br>a public health perspective with the NHS being responsible for the provision of <br>healthcare.<br><br>The International Health Regulations (IHR), which entered into force on 15 June <br>2007, require countries to report certain disease outbreaks and public health <br>events to WHO, including Ebola.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 01/07/2014 15:09:20 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
