uin	23657
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2016 answer text <p>The National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies (NRR) is the public-facing version of the National Risk Assessment (NRA), a classified assessment of the civil emergency risks facing the UK over the next five years. The NRR is published by the Civil Contingencies Secretariat, Cabinet Office. Due to sensitivities, beyond the detail contained within the NRR (particularly Chapter 3 of the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-risk-register-of-civil-emergencies" target="_blank">2015 iteration</a>) the NRA methodology is not for public disclosure. However, every risk in the NRR is owned and assessed by a lead government department. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is owned by the Department of Health, which is preparing a paper for submission to the Lancet that sets out the analytical methods used to underpin the National AMR Strategy.</p> answering member constituency West Dorset answering member printed Mr Oliver Letwin question first answered 26/01/2016 13:24:27 answering member 247 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Letwin
