tabling member printed	Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
uin	HL4567
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>Smoking is responsible for approximately 80,000 deaths a year in the United Kingdom and causes around one in four UK cancer deaths. Smoking is one of the most important preventable causes of disparities in health, and a significant contributor to the gap in life expectancy.</p><p>Reduced smoking rates lead to fewer people dying from smoking-related diseases and fewer children exposed to second-hand smoke or living in smoking-induced poverty. There are four major diseases that together account for almost 60% of all ill health and early deaths attributable to smoking: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; coronary heart disease; lung cancer; and strokes. By 2075, our modelling suggests that between 48,000 and 115,000 cases of these diseases would be avoided, improving people’s lives and avoiding the pain of loss for families.</p><p>Smoking also costs society £21.8 billion a year and puts a huge burden on the National Health Service. Our Impact Assessment on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill found that there would be savings of more than £2 billion, in 2019 prices, in reduced healthcare usage costs over 30 years from 2027. Health and economic gains are expected further in the future, saving the health and care system up to £18 billion and boosting the economy by up to £85 billion by 2075, cumulatively and undiscounted. Someone who avoids a smoking-related death can be expected to live eight to nine years longer as a result of this change, as set out in the command paper from October 2023.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham grouped question UIN HL4568 question first answered 23/05/2024 12:04:29 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2024 answer text <p>Smoking is responsible for approximately 80,000 deaths a year in the United Kingdom and causes around one in four UK cancer deaths. It also costs society £21.8 billion a year and puts a huge burden on the National Health Service. The latest estimates from Action on Smoking and Health put the cost of smoking to the NHS and social care at £3 billion a year.</p><p>As part of our impact assessment, we reviewed evidence and data from a range of countries. This included modelling from New Zealand, Singapore, and the Solomon Islands on the estimated impact of a smokefree generation policy on smoking prevalence, smoking attributable mortality, and other health impacts. We also considered evidence and data from countries that have already implemented an increase in the age of sale for tobacco to a particular age. For example, we analysed data and evidence from the United States on the impact that raising the age of sale from 18 to 21 years old had on smoking prevalence.</p><p>This was in addition to considering evidence and data from the UK on the impact that previous increases in the age of sale for tobacco have had on smoking prevalence.

tabling member printed	Lord Jackson of Peterborough
uin	HL4584
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>No specific guidance has been issued, however, all abortion providers are aware that termination of pregnancy in England and Wales can only be provided within the legal framework laid down in the Abortion Act 1967.</p><p>The legal framework for home use of early medical abortion pills is set out in the Department’s guidance, Abortion: procedures for the approval of independent sector places for termination of pregnancy (abortion) in England. This guidance applies to independent sector abortion clinics and states that the Abortion Act 1967 allows women having an abortion during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, specifically up to nine weeks and six days gestation, to take one or both medicines for an early medical abortion at home. It also highlights that women having an early medical abortion at home should be given information on the implications, health and otherwise, of taking the abortion medicine beyond the legal limit of nine weeks and six days gestation.</p><p>In addition, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s guideline on abortion care, to which all abortion providers are expected to have due regard, highlights that women who are having a medical abortion and will be taking the first pill, mifepristone, up to and including nine weeks six days gestation, can be offered the option of expulsion at home.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 23/05/2024 14:22:17 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
