	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2014 answer text <p>Donated lungs are currently allocated to the designated cardiothoracic transplant centres on a zonal basis. However, the Cardiothoracic Organs Advisory Group (CTAG) has recently reviewed the allocation policy and has recommended that the size of the allocation zones be adjusted to help ensure equity of access. NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) has therefore confirmed that, for cardiothoracic organs, the zones will be reviewed in August 2014 to coincide with changes in liver allocation zones, and from August 2015 heart and lung zones will be disaggregated and the zones reviewed separately.</p><p> </p><p>CTAG has also recommended that NHSBT review the consequences of introducing two levels of priority for listing for lung transplants - urgent and routine; and suggest a national allocation scheme for urgent listed patients, and zonal allocation for routine listed patients.</p><p> </p><p>Any change would need to be validated by NHSBT, to review the criteria for urgent listing and the statistical modelling of the potential impact of such a system. NHSBT will continue to work closely with the Cystic Fibrosis Trust to improve outcomes for patients requiring lung transplants.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 03/07/2014 12:56:51 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2014 answer text <p>During routine work to add existing records to the store in Diego Garcia, BIOT immigration officials noted water damage to a small number of records, caused by a leaking roof. This is believed to have resulted from extremely heavy weather in June 2014. Although the extent of the damage was not clear on initial inspection at the time, as I said in my answer of 8 July to PQ203500, records from 2002 appeared to be incomplete due to water damage.</p><p>However, since my answer of 8 July, BIOT immigration officials have conducted a fuller inspection, and previously wet paper records have been dried out. They report that no flight records have been lost as a result of the water damage. A small number of immigration arrival cards from 2004 have been damaged, but that information about those flights is still available in the daily occurrence logs and monthly statistics. These records provide dates of aircraft movements in the Territory, and passenger and crew numbers.</p><p>Following the incident, all hard copy records from the affected location are being transferred from the airport to a new location, and will be digitalised over the coming months.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Mark Simmonds question first answered 15/07/2014 09:28:53 answering member 1393 label Biography information for Mark Simmonds
