answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>A cross-Government, United Kingdom-wide delivery board monitors and oversees progress in delivering the National Action Plan on antimicrobial resistance (NAP AMR) for 2019 to 2024. The majority of the commitments in the NAP AMR have been assessed as either completed, or as on track for delivery.</p><p>Progress against the measurable ambitions in the NAP AMR is collated by the UK Health Security Agency, and reported to the delivery board. Significant progress has been made in further reducing antibiotic use in food producing animals, by 59% since 2014, and in humans, with an 8.8% reduction in overall antibiotic usage from 2014 to 2022. Progress has been slower in other areas, such as reducing the incidence of specific drug-resistant infections, due to the diverse nature of the underlying causes of these infections. Other key achievements from the NAP AMR programme over the past five years include:</p><p>- Piloting innovative ways of evaluating and paying for antibiotics on the National Health Service;</p><p>- Securing antimicrobial resistance commitments on several ministerial tracks during the UK G7 presidency in 2021; and</p><p>- £19.2 million investment into One Health Surveillance through the Pathogen Surveillance in Agriculture, Food and Environment Programme.</p><p>The Department has commissioned the Policy Innovation and Evaluation Research Unit (PIRU) at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to conduct an evaluation of the 2019 to 2024 NAP AMR, to inform future policy development and implementation. Findings from the PIRU evaluation will be published following the peer-review process.</p><p>The forthcoming NAP AMR for 2024 to 2029 is under development, in consultation with a broad range of stakeholders across different sectors, and informed by the findings from the antimicrobial resistance Call for Evidence. This will set us on course for achieving our long-term ambitions, set out in the Government’s 20-year vision to contain, control, and mitigate antimicrobial resistance by 2040.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 12/03/2024 12:46:45 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>The government is attracting tens of billions of private investment into energy infrastructure from a wide variety of sources. Autumn Statement 2023 announced planning and grid reforms which could bring forward £90 billion of investment in energy infrastructure over 10 years, and since September 2023 alone companies have announced plans for £30 billion of new energy investment.</p><p> </p><p>Autumn Statement added to the significant progress government has already made in creating the right enabling environment for infrastructure in decarbonization, as set out in Powering Up Britain. This includes:</p><p>- Innovative financing mechanisms and business models to provide revenue support and long-term certainty for investors in green industries, including Contracts for Difference (CfDs) for renewable energy generation, Regulated Asset Base (RAB) for nuclear, and models for CCUS and hydrogen.</p><p>- A strong public finance offer, including the £22bn in financial capacity in the UK Infrastructure Bank (UKIB) which enables it to partner with the private sector and government to increase net zero infrastructure investment.</p><p> </p><p>Spring Budget 2024 delivers and builds on announcements from Autumn Statement, creating the enabling environment for net zero investment through energy system reforms. This includes:</p><p>- Confirmation of the parameters of the 6<sup>th</sup> Contracts for Difference (CfD) round for offshore wind, with the largest ever budget set at £1 billion.</p><p>- Seizing the growth opportunities of the net zero transition, with an additional £120 million for the Green Industries Growth Accelerator targeted at manufacturing capacity in the clean energy sectors where the UK has the strongest current or potential advantage: CCUS, hydrogen, offshore wind, networks, and nuclear. This brings overall funding for the Green Industries Growth Accelerator to over £1 billion.</p><p>- The pensions reforms currently being developed by the Government, Financial Conduct Authority and The Pensions Regulator, which will also help ensure that pension funds are investing in the full range of asset classes including infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 12/03/2024 14:39:01 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies
