answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>I have not made any assessment of the impact on consumers of providing passive remedies for alternative leased line providers. Ofcom is responsible for telecommunications market regulation. It carries out a rolling programme of market reviews of competition in communications markets to ensure that regulation remains appropriate and proportionate in the light of changing market conditions. Following a market review, Ofcom can impose regulatory remedies to address competition concerns which vary according to the market and services being provided. Ofcom is currently conducting a review of competition in the supply of leased line services in the UK (the Business Connectivity Market Review, or BCMR). As part of that review a preliminary consultation was published last month on the role that passive remedies might play in addressing competition concerns in the market for leased line services.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 04/12/2014 16:48:41 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>Since the publication of Hard Truths: The Journey to Putting Patients First, the Government has taken huge strides to boost safety, transparency, compassion and accountability in the National Health Service. We have legislated to make the Care Quality Commission independent, and a new rigorous inspection regime for hospitals, primary care and adult social care has been introduced, resulting in a clear rating on the quality of care. We have also introduced a robust special measures regime for struggling hospitals, so that poor care is identified and rectified. In addition, we have legislated to place a new duty of candour and fit and person requirement for directors of NHS bodies, as well as to create a new offence of wilful neglect and ill treatment. This Government has also placed an unprecedented amount of data on the MyNHS website, so that the public can see how their local services perform.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 04/12/2014 16:19:54 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
