answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UK NSC) advises ministers and the National Health Service in the four UK countries about all aspects of screening and supports implementation of screening programmes. All screening programmes are introduced following a robust process using peer reviewed evidence that shows the benefits to screen clearly outweigh harm.</p><p>Earlier this year, the UK NSC looked at the evidence to offer population screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) in pregnancy and recommended that this should not be introduced. This is because screening during pregnancy would be difficult. Further, there is no new evidence to support screening. Ministers accepted this recommendation.</p><p>However, the NHS Newborn Blood spot Screening Programme screens for cystic fibrosis in newborn babies alongside eight other conditions. Newborn blood spot screening in England is offered between five and eight days after the baby is born.<em> </em></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 09/09/2019 18:17:04 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government response to the Task and Finish Group report published on 12 February 2019 advised that the recommendation in respect of providing a statutory definition of plying for hire would not be taken forward as it would not provide a practical improvement on the current position.</p><p> </p><p>The Law Commission came to this view in accordance with the advice received from a panel of distinguished licensing lawyers convened specifically for the purpose of discussing reform of plying for hire. The main reason for this conclusion was that whether a driver is plying for hire in particular circumstances is a matter of fact and degree that a court must consider. The Department regularly monitors cases but does not consider that any recent cases necessitate a change in approach.</p><p> </p><p>Private hire vehicles are already only permitted to carry passengers when a booking has been made through a licensed operator.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 09/09/2019 15:26:44 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>In July 2016 the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidance on Orkambi for treating cystic fibrosis in people 12 years and older who are homozygous for the F508del mutation. This guidance is scheduled for review this year (2019). If NICE updates the existing recommendations, and the company participates, updated guidance for these patients is expected late 2020/early 2021.</p><p>In March 2019, NICE received Ministerial referral to appraise Orkambi in people aged between 2 and 11 years old who are homozygous for the F508del mutation. NICE is in the process of inviting the company and other stakeholders to participate in this appraisal. If the company participates, NICE expects to be able to come to a decision on the use of Orkambi for this group of children in the autumn of 2020.</p><p>The Secretary of State for Health wrote to Vertex in August offering a further meeting again with Vertex, as soon as possible, to consider what the barriers are to an agreement and how the situation can be resolved. We continue to urge Vertex to accept NHS England’s generous offer. In the absence of an agreement NHS England and Improvement continue to explore other options.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 03/09/2019 16:47:18 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

Around 80% of participating clinics have now confirmed they have the capacity to accept additional trial places and the majority of sites have also received approval from their Local Authority commissioners to proceed. In London, boroughs have so far agreed to accept 60% of the total number of additional places available to them. London local authority commissioners have been asked to confirm whether they can accept any further additional places. In addition, sexual health services not taking part in the trial have been given an opportunity to participate following trial expansion.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 04/09/2019 15:45:06 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why this Government committed to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and then eliminate it altogether by 2027. Last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy, set out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p><p>As part of this, the Rough Sleeping Initiative has delivered over 1,750 new bed spaces as well as enabling the areas with the highest levels of rough sleeping to hire more than 500 new staff to focus solely on this issue. The Rapid Rehousing Pathway provides local areas with support to deliver ‘Somewhere Safe to Stay’ hubs, specialist navigators, local lettings agencies and supported lettings. Figures from the Official 2018 Rough Sleeping Snapshot show that the number of people sleeping on our streets on one night in 2018 was 2 per cent lower compared to the previous year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 09/09/2019 15:31:24 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
