answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2022 answer text <p>In February and March 2022, the ‘Help Us Help You – Cervical Screening Saves Lives’ campaign urged individuals not to ignore a cervical screening invitation and to contact their general practitioner if they missed their last invitation. In some Primary Care Networks, appointments can also be made in any primary care setting, including integrated sexual health clinics and at evenings and weekends. To support further improvements in uptake, an evaluation of the effectiveness of human papillomavirus self-sampling is being made, where individuals take their own cervical screening sample.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 14/10/2022 09:48:33 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince previous answer version 22410 answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2022 answer text <p>The UK is experiencing an unprecedented increase in the number of people making life-threatening journeys to cross the Channel. These boats are often carrying unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC) and this has placed unprecedented pressure on the National Transfer Scheme. Out of necessity and with the children’s best interests in mind, we have arranged for them to be accommodated on an emergency and temporary basis in hotels, whilst placements with local authorities are being vigorously pursued.</p><p> </p><p>Hotel accommodation is only ever a temporary means to accommodate the increased number of UASC arriving, not a long-term solution. The Home Office is using five hotels to accommodate young people temporarily. Each hotel has a team of support workers throughout the day and night to ensure children are supported, safe and their daily care needs are met. Additional support is provided on site by teams of social workers and nurses. The Home Office have sole occupancy of all hotels where UASC are temporarily accommodated.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 14/10/2022 14:36:01 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
