This is an issue that we are committed to addressing both through our recruitment practices and the use of cross government talent management schemes.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As a relatively new department, we had not paid any bonuses as at 31 March 2017. The department has now developed and implemented a reward and recognition policy so we will be able to report on this in future years. The policy puts equal opportunities at the forefront of all reward decisions alongside a mechanism to ensure consistency and fairness.</p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 16/04/2018 10:53:48 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) routinely monitors coverage for the national immunisation programme, including the Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine on a quarterly and annual basis. PHE also conducts routine measles surveillance publishing data on laboratory confirmed cases on a quarterly and annual basis.</p><p> </p><p>In 2017, the total number of laboratory confirmed measles cases in England was 274. From 1 January to 18 June 2018, there have been 643 lab confirmed cases, with London (225), the South East (137), West Midlands (82), South West (79), and Yorkshire and Humberside (74) reporting the most cases. The increase in cases is associated with importations from outbreaks in Europe that have led to some limited spread in the population, particularly in young people and adults who missed out on MMR vaccine when they were younger.</p><p> </p><p>Annual national statistics from 2016/17 show that coverage for the first dose of MMR vaccine in five year olds reached the World Health Organization target of 95% for the first time. This continues an improving coverage trend which has seen figures improve year on year since 2006-07.</p><p> </p><p>Coverage for MMR vaccine in England for children reaching their second birthday fell to 91.6% in 2016-17 compared to 91.9% in 2015-16. This is the third consecutive year that MMR coverage has been decreasing. PHE is working closely with the National Health Service and with staff in general practice where most vaccinations are delivered, to improve uptake for the routine childhood immunisation programme.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 154739 question first answered 21/06/2018 16:09:28 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
