answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>The government is committed to supporting families. To achieve this, in 2014 we introduced the Family Test, which aims to ensure that impacts on family relationships and functioning are recognised early on during the process of policy development and help inform the policy decisions made by Minsters. The Family Test was not designed to be a ‘tick-box’ exercise, and as such there is no requirement for departments to publish the results of assessments made under the Family Test.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice grouped question UIN 119111 question first answered 21/12/2017 15:13:49 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of (a) the level of antibiotic resistant bacteria associated with intensive livestock units in the UK and (b) how this level of antibiotic resistant bacteria has changed in the past five years.
tabling member constituency	Bristol East
tabling member printed	Kerry McCarthy
uin	119283
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>Antibiotic resistant bacteria data are collected through two methods of surveillance (clinical surveillance and monitoring). The surveillance programme serves to monitor resistance in a number of drug/bug combinations, which are a priority for human and animal health, rather than to monitor trends by type of farming systems. The harmonised monitoring produces results that are intended to be representative at a country level. The clinical surveillance relies on voluntary submission of samples by private veterinarians for diagnostic investigations to the network of government laboratories, and generates a useful indication of some of the resistance seen in the overall livestock population.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The latest data published in 2016 shows that overall, the rates of resistance have remained relatively stable for most of the bacteria and antibiotics tested. However, the level of resistance in <em>E.coli</em> found in chickens has started to decrease. All results from the Veterinary Medicines Directorate’s surveillance and monitoring activities are published annually in the UK-VARSS report - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/veterinary-antimicrobial-resistance-and-sales-surveillance-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/veterinary-antimicrobial-resistance-and-sales-surveillance-2016</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 21/12/2017 13:56:19 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
