	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2017 answer text <p>The Home Office ensures that animal research and testing is carried out only where no practicable alternative exists, and under controls which keep suffering to the minimum. This is achieved through robustly applying the principles of the 3Rs which require that, in every research proposal, animals are replaced with non-animal alternatives wherever possible; that the number of animals used is reduced to the minimum needed to achieve the results sought; and that, for those animals which must be used, procedures are refined as much as possible to minimise their suffering.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 14/11/2017 14:47:44 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

	uin	105452
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>The Manual for Prescribed Specialised Services describes which elements of specialised services are commissioned by NHS England and which are commissioned by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs):</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/prescribed-specialised-services-manual-2.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/prescribed-specialised-services-manual-2.pdf</a></p><p>Due to the small number of patients involved, the cost of the transplant episode and the small number of transplant experts, Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) is defined as a prescribed specialised service. NHS England is responsible for commissioning and funding the transplant related care which takes place 30 days before transplant and continues until 100 days post-transplant. After 100 days post-transplant, commissioning responsibility for the routine follow-up of patients switches from NHS England to CCGs, as outlined in the Manual.</p><p>In the event that transplant patients experience serious complications post-transplant, elements of their care would likely continue to be planned, organised and funded by NHS England specialised commissioning. For example, if a patient requires Extracorporeal Photopheresis which is a treatment for acute and chronic graft versus host disease following transplantation, NHS England commissions this care post-transplant.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 16/10/2017 16:39:07 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
