tabling member constituency	Strangford

uin	242840
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>In the United Kingdom, about 15,000 children and young people are affected by arthritis, with approximately 1,000 children diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) per year. JIA may continue into adulthood, and about a third or more of children with the condition still need treatment in adult life.</p><p> </p><p>Support for patients with long term health problems should include provision of a holistic assessment and the development of a personalised care plan, taking into account their needs and preference for care. Treatment for JIA can include anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids and disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as Methotrexate to suppress the immune response creating the inflammation. For patients who do not respond to DMARDs, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has approved several biological therapies (anti-tumour necrosis factor drugs), which work in a similar way to DMARDs, but are more targeted in addressing the immune response.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, published on 7 January 2019, NHS England is taking action in a range of areas to improve the care and support for children and young people. From 2019/20 clinical networks will be rolled out to improve the quality of care for children with long-term conditions. This will be achieved though sharing best clinical practice, supporting the integration of paediatric skills across services and bespoke quality improvement projects.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 12/04/2019 13:49:11 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>Public Health England does not currently include ophthalmic surgery as part of mandatory or voluntary surveillance of surgical site infections, nor are their plans to add it. The surveillance programme is developed in partnership with the National Health Service and focuses on surgeries where there is a high risk of infection and poor health outcomes following infection.</p><p> </p><p>In the development of the tariff, the Ophthalmology Experts Working Group (EWG) confirmed that minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and cataract activity are commonly done together and it would not usually be in the patient’s best interest to do them separately. The EWG advised that the tariff was appropriate for combined MIGS and cataract activity.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 12/04/2019 14:09:26 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>For the 2017/19 national tariff (which was set for two years), the prices for BZ91 were manually increased above the initially modelled level (based on 2014/15 reference costs) following feedback from the ophthalmology Expert Working Group (EWG). For 2019/20, the EWG recommended that the prices for BZ91 should not be increased and should remain as modelled (based on 2016/17 reference costs).</p><p> </p><p>The EWG also confirmed that minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and cataract activity are commonly done together and it would not usually be in the patient’s best interest to do them separately. The EWG advised that BZ91 was appropriate for combined MIGS and cataract activity – a MIGS procedure plus a cataract procedure should not receive over twice as much as either procedure alone.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 12/04/2019 14:08:18 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office has a duty to inform citizens and businesses about how leaving the EU might affect them, and to advise on the steps they may need to take to prepare for EU Exit.</p><p><br>Alongside business as usual operational communications, HM Passport Office (HMPO), working with Home Office, is part of the Cabinet Office-led Public Information Campaign to help achieve this.

The passport-specific activity, via social media and digital advertising, encourages customers who are planning to travel to Europe post-EU Exit to check the validity of their passport using the online checker. To date 2.3 million users have checked their passport validity.</p><p><br>To support this marketing activity, HMPO has been working with other government departments and stakeholders from across the travel industry, asking them to share messages on their own customer channels. This work included the distribution of a toolkit including promotional materials in October 2018.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 09/04/2019 09:25:00 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
