answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises that long-term conditions, such as arthritis, can have an impact on a person’s mental wellbeing. The guideline ‘Rheumatoid arthritis in adults: management’, updated by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2018, sets out best practice in the diagnosis, treatment, care and support of people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Although guidelines are not mandatory, when exercising their judgement, National Health Service organisations and clinicians are expected to take this guideline fully into account as best practice, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health, the expansion of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services now under way has a focus on helping people with long term conditions, including conditions such as arthritis.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 03/12/2018 14:19:44 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

tabling member constituency	Brighton, Pavilion
tabling member printed	Caroline Lucas
uin	195570
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>The government will be introducing the Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order to implement the EU Invasive Alien Species (IAS) Regulation (EU1143/2014). Our enforcement strategy has been designed to combat the negative effects of invasive non-native species that are listed as ‘of union concern’. Both grey squirrel (<em>Sciurus carolinensis)</em> and muskrat (<em>Ondatra zibethicus)</em> are on this list.</p><p> </p><p>The enforcement strategy will prohibit a number of actions relating to listed species, including their importation, keeping, and release into the environment. These restrictions are being put in place to manage the risk that these species pose to the environment, economy and human health.</p><p> </p><p>The Forestry Commission leads on policy and action on the grey squirrel in England, under the Grey Squirrel Action Plan, which fulfils many of the functions of a management plan. This includes Countryside Stewardship funding for landowners. Defra, in partnership with the United Kingdom Squirrel Alliance (UKSA), is also providing funding for work by the Animal and Plant Health Agency for the development of a fertility control method for grey squirrels. This research, now in its third year, continues to show promise as one potentially effective method to control grey squirrel numbers in the longer term.</p><p> </p><p>The muskrat is not currently present in this country meaning we have no plans to develop a management plan. The import of the muskrat is prohibited and it would be eradicated if detected.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 04/12/2018 16:35:40 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
