uin	185470
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2018 answer text <p>While the future of Appledore is a matter for Babcock, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has remained closely engaged with the company on this issue. Together with MOD officials, both the Secretary of State for Defence and I have met Babcock to explore potential options. This included bringing forward a potential £60 million package of work at Devonport, thereby providing additional work for Appledore workers. However, our discussions with Babcock established that this work would not be enough to secure the long-term future of the yard.</p><p>Regrettably, Babcock has now stated that it has reached a point where it can no longer sustain the cost of its operations at Appledore. This is clearly a concerning time for Appledore employees and their families and, while Babcock will offer all those affected other positions, the Government is standing by to provide any additional support.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 02/11/2018 14:53:20 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2018 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance ‘Crohn’s Disease Management in Adults, Children and Young People’, updated in 2016, sets out best practice in the diagnosis, treatment care and support of patients with the condition.</p><p> </p><p>Management options include drug therapy, dietary and lifestyle advice and, in severe or chronic active disease, surgery. The aim when treating Crohn’s disease is either to heal the inflammation and so reduce symptoms during a flare‑up ('inducing remission') or to prevent flare‑ups happening in the future ('maintaining remission'). Drug treatments can include steroids, immunosuppressants and biological medicines. For patients requiring complex surgery, NHS England specialised colorectal services nationally to support equity of access to high quality treatment for patients with Crohn’s disease.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2006, the Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) audit programme has supported work to improving the care of people with IBD. Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis are collectively known as IBD. Evidence of improvements in care during the time of the programme included the effective demonstration that biological therapies for the treatment of IBD are safe and effective drugs as well as wider improvement to support that patients received.</p><p> </p><p>The IBD audit programme was commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership, on behalf on NHS England, as part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme. The programme ended in March 2017 and its quality improvement initiatives have been transferred to the United Kingdom IBD Registry as the future vehicle for IBD audit and quality improvement.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 02/11/2018 13:21:13 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
