	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>A new EU pet travel Regulation comes into effect on 29 December 2014 and introduces a number of measures which will strengthen enforcement regimes, in particular. For example, pets being prepared for travel after the 29 December 2014 will be issued with a new style pet passport that will be harder to forge or tamper with. New rules governing the movement of more than five pets will be introduced together with a new requirement for all EU countries to carry out some compliance checks on pets moving between EU member states. A 12 week minimum age for rabies vaccination will also be applied across the EU which will assist compliance checking and restrict the movement of very young animals. The fundamental requirements of the scheme (including microchip, rabies vaccination, pet passport and a waiting period) will remain the same and non-compliant animals will continue to be either placed into quarantine, re-exported or, as a measure of last resort, euthanased. Defra will continue to work closely with its operational partners to clamp down on the illegal puppy trade and prosecute those responsible.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>A comprehensive risk assessment carried out in 2011prior to the UK's harmonisation with the EU Pet Travel Scheme concluded that the risk of an animal with rabies coming into the UK is very low and the risk of rabies being passed from a pet to a person is lower still. The details of this assessment are available at <a href="http://www.defra.gov.uk/animal-diseases/a-z/rabies/" target="_blank">http://www.defra.gov.uk/animal-diseases/a-z/rabies/</a>. This risk assessmentconsidered how the risk of rabies introduction from all countries would change based on (a) where the rules are followed with 100% compliance and (b) where the rules are followed with varying degrees of less than 100% compliance. The risk assessment also incorporated both intra-EU and third country movements and its conclusions are valid for animals moving under both the EU Pet Travel Scheme and commercial movements as the risk mitigation measures are the same for both categories.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2014 answer text <p>Information on the levels of mental illness in the West Kent Clinical Commissioning Group area, the Medway Clinical Commissioning Group area, Kent and England is not held centrally.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>All local authorities are required to develop and publish a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) – an analysis of the current and future health and care needs of the local population – and a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWS) to address these needs.</p><p> </p><p>JSNAs and JHWSs form the basis of National Health Service and local authorities' own commissioning plans, across health, social care, public health and children's services. Local health and social care commissioners are expected to develop their commissioning plans in line with any relevant JSNA or JHWS, and must be able to justify any parts of their plans which are not consistent.</p><p> </p><p>The JSNA process therefore offers valuable opportunities to drive improvement in meeting the needs of local people with mental health needs. However, the Department has not highlighted any care group or area of need over another as this would risk undermining the purpose of JSNAs being an objective, comprehensive and most importantly – a locally-owned process.</p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb question first answered 07/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb
