answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The proposals contained in the consultation document issued on 8 May, entitled &quot;Changes to the local valuation cycle and management of employer risk&quot;, are intended to help funds to better manage employer risk and liabilities, and to ensure that employer contributions are set at an appropriate level. These objectives are consonant with the interests of all scheme members and would not affect the pension benefits which are due to existing members of the scheme</p><p><br> The consultation closed on 31 July and we have received a large number of responses, from the perspective of both scheme employers and scheme members. It is right that we take time to consider the representations made and a formal response will be issued in due course.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 09/09/2019 15:29:41 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UK NSC) advises ministers and the National Health Service in the four UK countries about all aspects of screening and supports implementation of screening programmes. All screening programmes are introduced following a robust process using peer reviewed evidence that shows the benefits to screen clearly outweigh harm.</p><p>Earlier this year, the UK NSC looked at the evidence to offer population screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) in pregnancy and recommended that this should not be introduced. This is because screening during pregnancy would be difficult. Further, there is no new evidence to support screening. Ministers accepted this recommendation.</p><p>However, the NHS Newborn Blood spot Screening Programme screens for cystic fibrosis in newborn babies alongside eight other conditions. Newborn blood spot screening in England is offered between five and eight days after the baby is born.<em> </em></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 09/09/2019 18:17:04 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
