uin	290341
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) does not collect data on community-acquired Clostridium difficile infections (CDI). However, PHE collects data on community-onset CDI. Community-onset CDI are those cases occurring without or within two days of a hospital admission.</p><p>In approximately half of the community-onset CDI cases (50.1% or 3,706/399 cases), the patient was either admitted to hospital at the time of the first positive sample or admitted shortly afterwards.</p><p>It should be noted that this information is in part reliant on completion of an optional data field and therefore ascertainment may not be optimal. PHE does not collect information on the reasons of the patient being admitted to the hospital. Therefore, in some cases the admission to hospital may have been for other reasons than the CDI.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 02/10/2019 16:04:04 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans she has to review the six day standstill rule.
tabling member constituency	Barnsley East
tabling member printed	Stephanie Peacock
uin	290439
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>If livestock move on to a farm the standstill rule requires the farmer to retain all livestock on their farm, in most instances for six days, before being able to move any of them off again. There are a number of exemptions such as moves to slaughter. The aim is to find the balance between reducing the risk of undetected disease spread and the need to trade.</p><p>In 2018, officials discussed the rule with representatives of the industry. It was agreed that a review of the rule would need to await the delivery of the new Livestock Information Service (LIS) as this will be a key source of movement data. The LIS will replace the current separate species movement reporting services in England. Delivery is planned to commence in late 2020 and should take approximately 2 years. Any consequent proposals to change the standstill arrangements will be assessed on an epidemiological risk basis and will be subject to public consultation.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 02/10/2019 15:33:52 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
