tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL12392
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has strengthened its requirements for how clinics should take consent from patients and partners in 2016.</p><p>The new edition of the HFEA’s Code of Practice, to be published shortly, will provide further guidance on the processes clinics should have in place to ensure consent is informed, taken properly and given by the right person. The guidance states that consent should be given at the clinic, where possible, and where this is not possible, that there should be a documented process in place for ensuring consent has been given by the right person. In particular, clinics need to be satisfied about the patients’ legal relationships to each other and, where the partner of a patient has not visited the clinic or does not return for subsequent treatment, the clinic should take reasonable steps to find out if the partner still consents to treatment.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 20/12/2018 14:09:32 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/01/2019 answer text <p>Our apprenticeship reforms are placing employers at the heart of ensuring that they have the right skills in their workforce to grow their business and to increase their productivity. However, we do recognise that some sectors and employers, including in the creative industries, experience challenges in taking advantage of the apprenticeship reforms.</p><p>Improving quality is a fundamental part of our reforms to apprenticeships. We are making sure that apprenticeships are high quality, industry recognised and delivered by quality providers. Apprenticeship standards are being developed by employers themselves to ensure their relevance. Over 70 employers are involved in developing new apprenticeship standards in the creative and digital industries sectors. There are 32 creative and design and digital industries standards currently available, with 38 more in development.</p><p>As part of the Creative Industries Sector Deal, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is supporting the creative careers strategy by working with the Institute for Apprenticeships on the development of apprenticeship standards, classifying areas where there are skills gaps identified as Industrial Strategy priorities.</p><p>We have introduced the apprenticeship levy to encourage sustained employer investment in high quality apprenticeships and are carefully monitoring the impact of the levy in different sectors. We are also working with ScreenSkills to discuss options for how best the sector can benefit from sustainable investment in the apprenticeship training that they need.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 02/01/2019 12:04:51 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
