answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2021 answer text <p>The United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UK NSC) looked at the evidence to use pulse oximetry (PO) as an additional test in the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination programme in 2019. The UK NSC recommended that there were still crucial gaps in the evidence to determine whether PO could be offered within a population screening programme to all newborn babies, as it was unclear whether PO would benefit or cause harm in finding babies with mild hypoxaemia or abnormally low oxygen blood levels.</p><p>The UK NSC supported the call for further research to help explore the uncertainties of the offer of PO in all babies, before a final recommendation is made. In 2020, the National Institute of Health Research made a call for evidence and a feasibility report is underway.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 06/09/2021 11:31:38 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

uin	36668
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2021 answer text <p>In order to address capacity challenges locally and nationally due to rising case rates, a decision was taken in early July to re-introduce a four hour digital journey across all national and local contact tracing. Individuals testing positive have four hours to self-complete the contact tracing survey before they pass on to local authorities, moving from a Local 0 to Local 4 approach. Due to the parameters of the Contact Tracing and Advice Service system, this decision was made for all local authorities and the national team. As a result of this change, over 30% of cases are now self-completing via SMS/email, increasing capacity both locally and nationally and enabling more cases to be reached within 24 hours.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 06/09/2021 11:20:42 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
