However, the Racecourse Association and its members are working to encourage responsible behaviour in respect of alcohol consumption, and are reviewing their processes for crowd control and security. Racecourses reserve the right to deny entry to or remove racegoers whose behaviour falls short of the standards of conduct required under the terms and conditions of entry. The British Horseracing Authority will consider factors such as crowd control and behaviour when reviewing its licensing procedures for racecourses.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 22/05/2018 12:52:25 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>The former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (Rt. hon. Jeremy Hunt MP) announced in October 2017 that the Department would introduce state-backed indemnity for general practice. The state-backed scheme is being designed to meet the needs of current and future professionals in general practice, offer affordable cover for these professionals, and offer value for money for taxpayers. We are working towards implementing the scheme from April 2019.</p><p> </p><p>We are, and have throughout the development of the proposals for general practitioner (GP) state indemnity been, working closely with key stakeholders including GP representatives and medical defence organisations as the scheme develops. We consider that focused engagement with the relevant stakeholders on the emerging policy direction is a more effective way of ensuring that the representations of those affected are taken into account than via a public consultation.</p><p> </p><p>Information about the scheme for general practice professionals was published online in November 2018 and this will be developed further to ensure professionals understand what the changes mean for them.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 31/01/2019 13:30:14 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
