answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) has published no estimates for the number of drug-resistant infections in the West Midlands or nationally over the next five years. The science of drug resistant infections is incompletely understood and is rapidly changing and evolving. Multi-drug resistant infections are unpredictable in their occurrence and can rapidly change. For these reasons producing estimates of the likely burden in future years is unlikely to be meaningful or robust.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Antimicrobial resistance is a priority for PHE who are working to improve surveillance and knowledge in this area. Specific antimicrobial resistant infections have been measured by PHE and openly published in weekly Health Protection Reports.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 08/06/2015 10:58:32 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
