star this property answer text <p>Food safety policy is the responsibility of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), a non-Ministerial Government Department, which works to protect public health and consumers' wider interests in food. The FSA is concerned with the safety of food right along the food supply chain, from when it is produced, to when it is served on the plate. As the national authority responsible for food safety, we set the regulations that food businesses are obliged to follow, and work with local authorities across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to make sure those regulations are enforced.</p><p>The FSA has delivered a robust regulatory regime that is responsive, scientifically-based and able to provide a high level of assurance for consumers in the food they eat. The FSA is working closely with consumers, local government and industry stakeholders, on modernising the regulatory regime so that it is more risk-based, data-driven and fit-for-purpose.</p><p>For example, the FSA has worked closely with industry on reducing Campylobacter contamination over a number of years. This has seen the highest contamination levels of Campylobacter fall from an average of 19% in 2014/15 to 5% in 2016/17 in surveys of whole, UK produced chicken undertaken at retail level. Latest levels according to major retailers’ data show an average of 3.1% for October-December 2018.</p><p>As part of the FSA’s preparations for EU Exit and regulatory reform, the FSA is heavily investing in its scientific capability and capacity, strengthening its approach to surveillance and horizon scanning, and ensuring a cost-effective national and coordinated approach to food crime.</p><p>The FSA is currently reviewing its strategy, making sure that the Department can respond to both existing and emerging challenges, focusing on key issues and societal developments, such as allergens, so that consumers can continue to enjoy food they can trust.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The UK has world-leading standards of food information backed by a rigorous legislative framework. Following EU withdrawal, we have committed to reviewing food labelling laws to ensure that consumers’ confidence in the food they buy continues to grow.</p><p>We are currently conducting a review of allergen labelling, which is looking at ways to improve the provision of allergen information for prepacked for direct sale food products. We recently ran a UK wide consultation jointly with the Food Standards Agency in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, and Food Standards Scotland. We are now in the process of analysing the responses we received in order to determine how allergen labelling can be improved for food products which are prepacked for direct sale so that consumers have complete trust in those foods.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>There are many programmes of work underway supported by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care across Government to encourage technology innovation in the National Health Service. We have provided over £100 million in funding to support the development and adoption of health tech innovations across the NHS. In October 2018 the Department published ‘The future of healthcare: our vision for digital, data and technology in health and care’ which outlined what is needed to enable the health and care system to make the best use of technology to support preventative, predictive and personalised care. There is also ongoing work to encourage adoption of data-driven technology with the latest iteration of the Code of Conduct for data-driven technology published in February 2019. We have also announced the creation of NHSX, a joint unit which from July will mandate the use of internationally-recognised tech and data standards across the NHS.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>In England, veterans are able to make use of both mainstream and veteran specific mental health services.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England’s Transition, Intervention and Liaison service supports serving personnel who need additional support as they are leaving the armed forces and veterans who have mental health issues. Numbers indicate that around 5,000 individuals are passing through this service each year. There are three elements to the service:</p><p>- in-reach services for those in transition, leading up to, and leaving the armed forces;</p><p>- services for veterans with complex presentation; and</p><p>- general services for veterans.</p><p>In 2018 NHS England launched their Complex Treatment Service, this has been designed to support veterans with complex mental health issues that have not improved with previous treatment. It provides a range of intensive care and treatment that may include but is not limited to support for drug and alcohol misuse, physical health, employment, housing, relationships and finances, as well as occupational and trauma focused therapies.</p><p> </p><p>In December last year NHS England Long Term Plan announced a further £10 million to expand these services and seek ways to close the gaps in current mental health provision to capture those individuals that are nearing crisis.</p><p> </p><p>Veterans are also able to use mainstream mental health service and are utilising these services with very positive outcomes, often better than the general population. Over 20,000 use Improving Access to Psychological Services each year and many more access other NHS mental health services.</p>
