answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UK NSC) advises ministers and the National Health Service in the four UK countries about all aspects of screening and supports implementation of screening programmes. All screening programmes are introduced following a robust process using peer reviewed evidence that shows the benefits to screen clearly outweigh harm.</p><p>Earlier this year, the UK NSC looked at the evidence to offer population screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) in pregnancy and recommended that this should not be introduced. This is because screening during pregnancy would be difficult. Further, there is no new evidence to support screening. Ministers accepted this recommendation.</p><p>However, the NHS Newborn Blood spot Screening Programme screens for cystic fibrosis in newborn babies alongside eight other conditions. Newborn blood spot screening in England is offered between five and eight days after the baby is born.<em> </em></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 09/09/2019 18:17:04 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of National Health Service trusts to have staffing arrangements in place that deliver safe and effective care. This includes recruiting the appropriate professionals needed to support these levels and meet local needs.</p><p>Dermatology is a highly competitive specialty training pathway and often oversubscribed. Nationally and locally there has been a 100% fill rate in dermatology training for the past four years. Since 2010, the number of full-time equivalent dermatologists (doctors at the consultant grade) has increased by 26% rising from 464 in May 2010 to 584 in May 2019.</p><p>The interim NHS People Plan, published on 3 June 2019, puts the workforce at the heart of the NHS and will ensure we have the staff needed to deliver high quality care. In advance of publishing the final People Plan, the NHS will establish a national programme board to address geographical and specialty shortages in medicine.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore grouped question UIN 284330 284445 question first answered 09/09/2019 18:49:59 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
