	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>It is clear that not all countries are fully implementing sanctions, as demonstrated by the UN Panel of Experts report of 5 March. The Government keeps close track of North Korean sanctions implementation and responds robustly when there is evidence of sanctions breaches. We are active in working with and lobbying, where necessary, international partners to ensure that all relevant UN Security Council measures in respect of North Korea are fully implemented. Until North Korea takes concrete steps towards denuclearisation, sanctions must remain and all states must enforce them in full.</p><p> </p><p>We welcome the work of the UN Panel of Experts who are mandated to gather, examine and analyse information provided by States on their implementation of the measures, as well as information on incidents of non-compliance. The Panel’s latest report details continued evasion of sanctions by North Korea and insufficient implementation of sanctions by a wide range of countries.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>​We are very concerned about the violence that took place in Yumbi territory, western Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), in December 2018. A recent report from the United Nations Joint Human Rights Office (UNJHRO) in the DRC suggests as many as 890 people were killed; thousands more were displaced. We echo the comments made by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet: we condemn all such violence and the perpetrators of these terrible crimes must be brought to justice as soon as possible. Our Embassy in the DRC has raised our concerns with government authorities in the region and with local UN representatives.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 15/03/2019 14:55:50 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>The NHS Long Term Plan made a clear commitment to the future of general practice, with primary and community care set to receive at least £4.5 billion more in real terms a year by 2023/24, meaning spending on these services will grow faster than the rising National Health Service budget. Since the launch of the Long Term Plan, NHS England and the British Medical Association’s General Practitioners (GP) Committee have agreed a five-year GP (General Medical Services) contract framework from 2019/20. The new contract framework will be essential to deliver the ambitions set out in the NHS Long Term Plan through strong general practice services.</p><p> </p><p>The contract included funding for the new Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme, in Primary Care Networks (PCNs). PCNs will be guaranteed funding for an up to estimated 20,000 additional staff by 2023/24. This funds new roles for which there is both credible supply and demand. The scheme will meet a recurrent 70% of the costs of additional clinical pharmacists, physician associates, first contact physiotherapists, and first contact community paramedics; and 100% of the costs of additional social prescribing link workers.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 229699 question first answered 15/03/2019 13:30:56 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>The routine assessment and management of pain is a required competency of all healthcare professionals. Many patients with chronic pain can be successfully supported and managed through routine primary and secondary care pain management services. Approaches to treatment are not all pharmacological; education in self-management techniques to aid symptom control may also be appropriate for some patients.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, published on 7 January 2019, NHS England will expand the number of physiotherapists working in primary care networks, enabling people to see the right professional first time, without needing a general practitioner referral. NHS England will also expand access to support such as the online version of ESCAPE-pain (Enabling Self-management and Coping with Arthritic Pain through Exercise), a digital version of the well-established, face-to-face group programme.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 15/03/2019 13:36:01 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>The latest advice from the Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants, published in August last year, is that the mortality burden of the air pollution mixture (based on both PM<sub>2.5 </sub>and NO<sub>2</sub>) in the UK is equivalent to 28,000 to 36,000 deaths per year. Mortality burden is a statistical way of assessing the impact of diseases and pollution. The equivalent figures at a more localised level are not available.
