	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The Department’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including congenital heart defects in babies. It is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. In all disease areas, the amount of NIHR funding depends on the volume and quality of scientific activity.</p><p> </p><p>The NIHR continues to fund and support a range of research into congenital heart defects in babies, including the following projects:</p><p>- MRI-augmented guidance for X-ray fluoroscopic paediatric cardiovascular interventions (£415,000);</p><p>- Mixed Reality Imaging of Congenital Heart Disease to Improve Surgical Decision-Making (£453,000); and</p><p>- Infant deaths in the United Kingdom community following successful cardiac surgery - building the evidence base for optimal surveillance (£22.800).</p><p>Information on individual projects funded by the NIHR can be found at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><strong><a href="https://www.journalslibrary.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/" target="_blank">https://www.journalslibrary.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/</a></strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 05/11/2018 16:43:16 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

	uin	185612
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidance ‘Rheumatoid Arthritis in Adults: management’, updated in 2018, sets out best practice on the diagnosis, treatment, care support of people living with the condition. The guidance emphasises the need for early diagnosis, with urgent referral to a specialist rheumatologist on suspicion of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This is because treatment at an early stage can halt progression of disease. The guidance also recommends patients with RA are managed by a multidisciplinary team, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy and psychology support.</p><p> </p><p>Patients can often be successfully managed disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or biologic drugs if DMARDs do not produce the desired results or are not tolerated. Biologicals target individual molecules and tend to work more quickly than conventional DMARDs. Local National Health Service commissioners should take NICE guidance into account when planning services for local populations.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>Councils play a central role in achieving high recycling rates and we want to see them provide comprehensive waste and recycling collection services that have the support of local householders. We have provided local government with over £200 billion for this spending period and while councils make their own spending decisions, we would expect them to prioritise what they do to deliver what their residents want to see and to ensure good waste management practice.</p><p> </p><p>The government has also announced in the Budget a fund of £20 million to tackle plastic waste and boost recycling. It also announced measures to place a tax on packaging that does not contain enough recycled content. The government will consult shortly on these measures and measures to reform producer responsibility. Future revenues raised from these will enable investment to address single use plastics, waste and litter to meet the government’s ambitions for resources, waste and recycling.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 05/11/2018 17:09:21 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
