answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2014 answer text <p>In the vast majority of cases National Health Service organisations may only provide confidential information about a patient to insurance companies and other third parties such as employers with the explicit consent of the patient. However, there may be a small number of cases where disclosure may take place without seeking consent, for example where there is a court order. Healthcare professionals who supply medical reports to insurance companies and employers may charge a fee for doing so; NHS organisations that supply copies of medical records may charge a fee that covers their costs.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 05/12/2014 14:32:42 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

uin	HL3296
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>The EU has adopted new treaties, and amended existing ones, since the original Treaty of Rome in 1957. These changes have reflected the evolution of EU business. Developments in the Eurozone are likely to create the conditions for further treaty change in the future.<br> <br>A number of different factors determine whether an EU Member State is required to hold a national referendum before approving a new EU treaty or an amendment to an existing EU Treaty. These factors include Constitutional obligations, legal or political precedent and the nature of the treaty or treaty change. In the UK, the European Union Act 2011 sets out the circumstances in which treaties amending or replacing the EU Treaties require prior approval by referendum.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 15/12/2014 17:07:04 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 20 November (HL2506), in respect of persons with a conviction for sex offences, violent conduct, and manslaughter or murder who have been permitted entry to the United Kingdom, (1) what public protection arrangements are instigated and whether they are a mandatory condition of entry, and (2) in respect of sex offences, what additional protection is in place for monitoring, sex-offender registering and prohibition from working with children and vulnerable adults, in line with arrangements for United Kingdom citizens convicted of the same offences.
tabling member printed	Lord Morrow
uin	HL3300
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>Foreign nationals who are convicted of such offences in the United Kingdom will be subject to the same monitoring and public protection arrangements as British nationals. Those sent to prison will also be considered for deportation. Furthermore, where a foreign national is in the United Kingdom and has been identified as having been convicted of a serious sexual or violent offence abroad, for example after a police check on foreign convictions following an arrest, the case will be referred to the Home Office to consider if deportation is appropriate.</p><p>Where previous foreign convictions for sexual offences are known, the police can apply to a magistrates’ court for a notification order which makes the individual subject to the same notification requirements as if they had been convicted in the UK (i.e. they are put on the “sex offenders’ register”). Similarly, where there exists a foreign conviction for specified violent offences, including murder and manslaughter, and where the individual poses a risk of serious violent harm to the public the police may apply for a violent offender order under the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, as amended by section 119 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime &amp; Policing Act 2014.Serious sexual and violent offences committed overseas which are known to our authorities may be included on Disclosure and Barring Service disclosures. They may also be taken into account in deciding whether to bar an individual from working with children or vulnerable adults.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 16/12/2014 15:24:19 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
