answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2019 answer text <p>Coverage of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in teenage girls is high with nearly 84% receiving the full course of vaccine. HPV vaccination uptake data can be viewed at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/760902/HPV_2017_2018_annual_report.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/760902/HPV_2017_2018_annual_report.pdf</a></p><p>From September 2019, the HPV vaccination programme will be expanded to boys in school year eight. To help teenagers and their parents make an informed choice about the HPV vaccination programme Public Health England (PHE) developed a range of targeted materials to provide information. Local immunisation providers should share this information and signpost teenagers and their parents to these materials when the offer of HPV vaccination is underway in schools. These materials can be viewed at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immunisation#human-papillomavirus-(hpv)-for-girls" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immunisation#human-papillomavirus-(hpv)-for-girls</a></p><p>In addition, PHE has also worked closely with several charities such as Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust and the Teenage Cancer Trust to develop lesson plans for schools to use to teach young people about cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine.

uin	270456
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2019 answer text <p>12 people have died while a further 20 cases have been reported, many among elderly people with existing health conditions. The infection risk of contracting group A streptococcal bacterial strain to the public is very low. Treatment with antibiotics is very effective, if started early enough. The local National Health Service continues to work closely with Public Health England and other partners to manage this local incident, and extra infection control measures have been put in place to prevent the infection spreading in the area.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 04/07/2019 14:18:20 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2019 answer text <p>In June 2019, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published the report ‘Oral health care in care homes’. Dental inspectors attended 100 routine inspections of care homes.</p><p>The main findings included that most care homes did not have a policy to promote and protect oral health (52%), almost half of care homes were not training staff to support oral health care (47%) and 73% of care plans reviewed only partly covered or did not cover oral health.</p><p>The report also found that around two thirds (67%) of the care homes reported that they could always, or nearly always, access National Health Service dental care and 10% reported they had no way of accessing emergency dental treatment for people. Around 34% of homes reported that there was no or limited access to out-of-hours services. Some care home managers stated that they had to call general practitioners, NHS 111, or even take the person requiring emergency care to accident and emergency. The CQC’s report can be viewed at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.cqc.org.uk/publications/major-report/smiling-matters-oral-health-care-care-homes" target="_blank">https://www.cqc.org.uk/publications/major-report/smiling-matters-oral-health-care-care-homes</a></p><p>We will consider the recommendations of the CQC’s report carefully and support commissioners to take any action necessary to continue to improve the oral health of older people.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 04/07/2019 14:14:49 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>Supplies of all paediatric epinephrine auto-injectors are currently available in volumes that are sufficient to meet normal United Kingdom demand.
