answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2019 answer text <p>The UK continues to engage with a range of opposition, members of the protest movement as well as the Transitional Military Council (TMC). We have frequently called for the Sudanese authorities, both in public and directly with them in Khartoum, to ensure that peaceful protests are not met with violence and those responsible for the injuries and deaths of protestors are held to account. The UK, alongside Troika partners Norway and the US, has called for all sides to engage in an inclusive dialogue that leads to a swift, orderly and peaceful transition to civilian rule. On 4 June in a joint Troika statement, we condemned the recent violent attacks by Sudanese security forces against peaceful protestors in Sudan which left many civilians dead or injured. We also expressed serious concern over TMC's announcement that it would cease negotiations and called for an agreed transfer of power to a civilian-led government.</p><p>On 6 June, I summoned the Sudanese Ambassador to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to express our grave concerns at the use of violence against civilians by the Sudanese authorities. The UK has called for the human rights of all Sudanese people to be respected, and the resumption of the political process leading to an agreed peaceful transfer of power to a civilian-led government, as demanded by the Sudanese people. We will continue to engage with all sides to support a settlement that works for all Sudanese people.</p><p>The UK also continues to promote comprehensive peace negotiations through our role in the Troika. Alongside the US and Norway we engage regularly with the African Union (AU) building on long standing support to the AU's mediation efforts to encourage peace and security in Sudan.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 25/06/2019 13:37:20 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>DFID recognises the essential role of Sudanese civil society in securing a transition to a stable political system that is inclusive, respects democratic norms and allows open and ongoing political dialogue. Until the end of 2018, the Local Partnerships for Dialogue Programme provided support to civil society, media, and women and youth groups, with the aim of strengthening their capacity to demand more inclusive, democratic and accountable governance.</p><p> </p><p>DFID has resources within its current framework to continue the UK’s support of Sudanese non-state actors, and their important participation in the transition. This could take the form of support to the handover to a civilian-led government, through technical assistance to negotiation and mediation efforts; and further capacity building for civil society organisations to build their resilience and capacity to champion inclusive dialogue.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 24/06/2019 14:29:43 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2019 answer text <p>The use of sedation services is a matter of clinical judgement. Training in engaging children and young people forms the basis of training in all paediatric specialties, for all grades of staff. Clinicians are trained to approach a child or young person in a sensitive, skilled and friendly manner and crucially, make a judgement as to how any procedure or treatment will be administered in the best interest of the child. Treatment decisions should always be made by doctors based on patients’ clinical needs.</p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence provides guidance on using sedation for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This covers the assessment, preparation, training and monitoring needed when using sedation in people aged under 19.
