During the Work Capability Assessment claimants are assessed against a number of descriptors covering physical, mental, cognitive and intellectual functions. The healthcare professional makes a recommendation on the individual’s functional capability to the DWP Decision Maker, who makes the decision on benefit entitlement by considering all available evidence, including the assessment report and any additional clinical information.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 11/01/2016 15:24:13 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2017 answer text <p>There is currently provision for recording resistant infections on death certificates. For example, guidance on recording deaths from MRSA was issued in 2005 by the then Chief Medical Officer. However, it is often the case that by the time someone dies they may have a number of diseases and complications of illness or treatment. It is, therefore, a matter of clinical judgment to decide whether a condition present at or just before death was a primary or secondary cause of a patient’s death.</p><p> </p><p>The World Health Organization is currently working on a revision (ICD 11) of its diagnostic coding system ICD 10. This is due in 2018 and will have a more comprehensive coverage of types of antimicrobial resistance.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 16/01/2017 16:27:56 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat

It guarantees £5 billion of investment in mobile infrastructure, and as a result mobile services will come to some areas for the first time. It will halve partial not-spots (where the is coverage from at least one MNO, but not all four), and cut total not spots by two thirds by end 2017. Additionally, Telefonica has a licence obligation to deliver indoor 4G coverage to 98% of premises in the UK by 2017. Other MNOs have indicated that they will match this commitment.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 26/01/2016 15:14:36 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>As of the 1 of October we have launched a consultation on options to deliver a meaningful and achievable increase to the energy efficiency standards for new homes to be introduced through the Building Regulations in 2020, as a stepping stone to meeting our commitment to introduce a Future Homes Standard by 2025. Our preferred option for 2020 would achieve a 31 per cent reduction in carbon emissions for an average home. We expect this would be achieved by homes being built with high fabric standards alongside the use of low-carbon heating, such as a heat-pump, or renewables technology, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. The published impact assessment considers analysis and evidence supporting the options.</p><p>The Building Regulations set minimum energy performance standards for new homes and non-domestic buildings, but do not prescribe the technologies, materials or fuels to be used, allowing builders the flexibility to innovate and select the most practical and cost-effective solutions in particular circumstances. For example, many roofs are not suitable for solar PV panels because of visual amenity, strength, or orientation of the property.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 28/10/2019 15:50:40 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
