answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>Each individual medical school sets its own undergraduate medical curriculum. These have to meet the standards set by the General Medical Council (GMC) in ‘Promoting excellence’, who then monitor and check to make sure that these standards are maintained. The curricula for postgraduate specialty training is set by individual royal colleges and faculties, and the GMC approves curricula and assessment systems for each training programme.</p><p> </p><p>There are no specific medical dermatology undergraduate training pathways, as all medical students complete a medical degree and foundation training to the point of GMC registration, and then students can specialise in dermatology as part of a postgraduate core medical training and higher specialty training programme. Dermatology is one of 30 specialties within the medicine specialty group. It is a highly competitive specialty and often oversubscribed.</p><p> </p><p>The number of medical specialty training places in England that are available each year is set by Health Education England and is based on their assessment of service gaps and predicted workforce needs. There has been a 100% fill rate in dermatology training in England for the past six years.</p><p> </p><p>Dermatologist education and training and recruitment in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland is a matter for the devolved administrations.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 12/04/2019 13:56:35 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

uin	242183
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>The draft Universal Credit (Managed Migration Pilot and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2019 were laid in Parliament on 14 January 2019, and will introduce provision for those claimants who were in receipt of the Severe Disability Premium (SDP) and who have moved on to Universal Credit following a change in their circumstances. These regulations will provide both an on-going monthly payment to eligible claimants who have already lost the SDP as a consequence of moving to Universal Credit, and an additional lump sum payment to cover the period since they moved.</p><p> </p><p>These regulations are subject to parliamentary debate and approval before they come in to force. Once introduced we will implement our processes to identify those who are potentially eligible for payments, aiming to make all payments as quickly as possible and within 6 months of the regulations coming into force. This will be a time consuming process, as we have to identify claimants and assess their eligibility, possibly needing to check some information directly with claimants. We aim to finish making payments within 6 months of the regulations coming into force.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 11/04/2019 13:17:31 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government has not made an estimate of the costs to the public purse of marine plastic pollution, but last week scientists from Plymouth Marine Laboratory, the Arctic University of Norway, the University of Stirling and the University of Surrey estimated an annual loss of between $500 billion and $2.5 trillion in the value of benefits derived from marine ecosystem services globally. This is a first step in understanding the true cost of marine plastic pollution, and we are developing the evidence base as part of our wider developments in marine natural capital evidence.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 11/04/2019 14:59:47 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
