uin	277177
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2019 answer text <p>Wildflowers provide pollen and nectar resources essential for sustaining wild and honey bees. Wildflower meadows therefore provide vital habitats for bee populations.</p><p> </p><p>Published scientific research has established that range contractions in many of our bee species are linked to the loss of species-rich habitats such as wildflower meadows. It also found that bee populations are more diverse on farms where wildflowers are sown or in landscapes with greater densities of wildflower meadows and other species-rich habitats.</p><p> </p><p>We also know that when we put wildflowers back, bees respond. Landscape-scale studies of wild bumblebee populations in farmed landscapes, led by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and part-funded by Defra, revealed that providing flower-rich habitat enhances the long-term survival of bumblebee families.</p><p> </p><p>Through our programme of agri-environment monitoring, we are currently evaluating how sowing wildflowers on farms is supporting bee populations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 18/07/2019 16:38:58 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2019 answer text <p>NHS England does not commission separate services for sickle cell patients with stroke, chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease or pulmonary hypertension and so cannot provide annual per capita costs. These services are commissioned on behalf of all patients that require them, which would include people living with sickle cell disease.</p><p>NHS England has recently undertaken a review of haemoglobinopathy services to ensure that patients living with conditions such as sickle cell disease are able to access the high-quality services they need for their condition across the country. NHS England is now commissioning a networked-based model of care for specialised haemoglobinopathy services which will included specialist haemoglobinopathy teams across the country, regional haemoglobinopathy coordination centres and a National Haemoglobinopathy Panel. The new model will enable advice to be provided to local clinicians on the management of patients with sickle cell disease 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Haemoglobinopathy coordination centres will organise and run networks for sickle cell disease, providing leadership and education for local services.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 19/07/2019 09:45:39 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
