answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2022 answer text <p>The Home Office does not hold case-specific data, such as business closures, for modern slavery offences. Criminal justice statistics, including outcomes for modern slavery offences, are published quarterly by the Ministry of Justice and are available on Gov.uk.</p><p>The Government is committed to tackling the heinous crime of modern slavery and bringing the individuals responsible to justice. Since its introduction, the Modern Slavery Act 2015 has given law enforcement agencies the tools and powers to tackle modern slavery, including a maximum life sentence for perpetrators. The Government has also provided over £15 million to policing since 2016. This investment has resulted in an increase in live police operations, from 188 in December 2016 to 4,114 in December 2021, and led to an increase in the number of prosecutions brought and convictions secured.</p><p>The Government recognises that the UK cannot tackle this crime alone. The UK continues to demonstrate international leadership, driving action towards the long-term ambition of eradicating modern slavery. We work with a range of partners to engage with countries from which the UK receives the highest numbers of victims. The UK’s international efforts to fight slavery are supported by a range of overseas programmes, as well as the Home Office’s £33.5m Modern Slavery Fund which since 2016 has included projects that test innovative approaches to build the evidence base on what works.</p><p>Preventing vulnerable people being drawn into slavery is one of the most effective ways of tackling the heinous crime of modern slavery. The UK Government is committed to preventing modern slavery and works with a range of partners to deliver effective prevention activity both in the UK and upstream. In October 2021, the Home Office launched the Modern Slavery Prevention Fund, to fund organisations to deliver targeted prevention interventions and build up the evidence base on what interventions are most effective.</p><p>The Government recognises there is yet more we can do to tackle this crime and bring offenders to justice. The Government is currently reviewing its Modern Slavery Strategy and will build on our learning and progress over the past eight years to strengthen our approach.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford grouped question UIN HL5979 question first answered 18/02/2022 13:11:31 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

uin	HL5977
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2017 answer text <p>Most recent estimates suggest that around 160,000 people in England are living with hepatitis C (HCV) infection. Precise figures of the number who remain undiagnosed are not available, however, an estimate of the proportion of people who inject drugs who are diagnosed can be obtained from the Unlinked Anonymous monitoring survey. In this survey, only around one half of people injecting psychoactive drugs sampled are aware of their HCV antibody positive status (53% in 2015), and this figure has remained relatively stable at this level (averaging 52%) over the past decade.</p><p> </p><p>The precise number of people diagnosed since reporting began is not available. However, over nearly two decades there has been a steady increase in the number of laboratory confirmed reports of HCV (ever-infected) in England, with a more than fivefold increase between 1996 and 2015. In 2015, 11,605 laboratory reports of individuals testing positive for antibodies to HCV were reported.</p><p> </p><p>No specific assessment has been undertaken of the effectiveness of peer support in increasing the number of people engaged in HCV care pathways.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England has a specification for 22 HCV Operational Delivery Networks (ODNs) to develop local partnerships with a range of stakeholders in order to maximise appropriate uptake and completion of HCV treatment and to cure more people of infection.</p><p> </p><p>One requirement of the ODN is to develop links to third sector services to support adherence, peer support and self-management programmes.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy grouped question UIN HL5975 HL5976 question first answered 22/03/2017 12:19:32 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
