answer text <p>Under terms agreed between Airbus and Spirit, Airbus will acquire the elements of Spirit’s Belfast site responsible for the A220 airliner. This includes the wing and mid-fuselage sections. The Government is working with the Northern Ireland Executive to help ensure the best outcome for Short Brothers and all its incredibly skilled, hard working, staff.

answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring that all people with allergies, including those under 16, have access to the services they need to manage their condition. The majority of those with allergies can be supported by locally commissioned services, with specialist allergy clinics available for those with more severe or complex allergic conditions.</p><p>Specialist allergy services are commissioned by NHS England Specialised Commissioning in line with the published Service Specification. This sets out that providers should deliver a diagnostic package for the investigation of suspected allergic diseases, including initial consultation and follow-up in a dedicated allergy clinic and specialised allergy tests. There are regular review meetings between the regional commissioning teams and providers to ensure compliance with service standards.</p><p>To support healthcare professionals, including those in primary care settings, in the implementation of clear care pathways, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of drug and food allergy in people aged under 19 years old. The guidance aims to improve diagnosis by offering advice on how to identify allergies and when to refer to secondary or specialist care.</p><p>The Royal College of General Practitioners have added allergy training to the new General Practitioner (GP) curriculum (2019) and, to support existing GPs, it has developed an allergy e-learning resource. Both resources aim to educate GPs about the various symptoms of allergic disease and to ensure that people with allergies can be effectively supported at primary care level.</p><p>While there are no specific treatments for allergies for those under 16 years old, the National Health Service website recommends the below treatments for allergies: medicines for mild allergic reactions like antihistamines, steroid tablets and steroid creams; emergency medicines called adrenaline auto-injectors, such as an EpiPen, for severe allergic reactions; and desensitisation, or immunotherapy, for severe allergic reactions, involving carefully exposing an individual to the thing they are allergic to over time, so that their body gradually gets used to it and does not react so badly. This should only be done by a medical professional.</p>

answer text <p>Processed meats are generally high in salt and, on average, meat and meat products contribute approximately 27% of salt intakes. A high intake of salt increases the risk of high blood pressure which, in turn, increases the risk of heart disease or a stroke. Reducing salt in foods by 1 gram per day, for example, could prevent 1,500 premature deaths each year, saving the National Health Service over £140 million.</p><p>To reduce salt levels in foods, the voluntary salt reduction programme sets targets for different food and drink product categories that contribute to salt intakes, including processed meats such as ham, bacon, and sausages. Businesses across all sectors of the food industry are required to work towards these targets. Separate targets on a meal basis have been set for the out of home sector, which includes processed meats where appropriate.</p><p>The targets were first set in 2006 and have been revised downwards five times to continually reduce salt content, with the most recent targets published in 2020. Businesses are expected to achieve the latest levels set by the end of 2024.</p><p>The most recent assessment of industry progress suggests that small reductions in salt content were seen in some meat products between 2017 and 2018. Salt intakes decreased from 9.38 grams to 8.4 grams a day between 2000 and 2018/19.</p>
