answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2024 answer text <p>Each commissioning organisation involved in the procurement process produced their own lessons learnt report, and the decisions around the publication of lessons learned reports are for individual integrated care boards (ICBs).

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the current outbreak of avian flu on wild bird populations.
tabling member printed	Lord Randall of Uxbridge
uin	HL2036
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2022 answer text <p>Defra is working with Devolved Administrations, Arm’s Length Bodies and NGOs to monitor and respond to the effect of avian influenza on wild birds. This includes providing advice on mitigation measures that can be put in place to both protect public health and the impact on wild birds where possible. However, avian influenza is a natural transmission process in wild birds and there is limited evidence that mitigation measures are effective at reducing transmission of avian influenza between wild birds. We will, however, continue to take whatever action we can, in accordance with international best practice and the latest evidence.</p><p> </p><p>The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) operates a robust programme of wild bird surveillance across Great Britain and engages in year-round avian influenza surveillance of dead wild birds submitted via public reports and warden patrols. Between 25 October 2021 and 22 July 2022, over 3,000 wild birds have been tested. Of these, 1454 have tested positive for H5 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). There have been findings in 347 different locations in 61 different species in 79 different counties. A report (updated weekly) of findings of HPAI in wild birds is published by <del class="ministerial">the UK Health Security Agency</del> <ins class="ministerial">APHA</ins> on GOV.UK together with <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Favian-influenza-bird-flu-in-europe&amp;data=05%7C01%7CEDC.outbreak.comms%40defra.gov.uk%7C380d7be3ec874a11f01a08da68949a2c%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C637937284688878079%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=YVSU6s18f0smWzoU31zn4Q32SxoA87MlTk%2B81hGSAFY%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">outbreak and risk assessments</a>. A copy of the 18 July outbreak assessment is attached to this answer</p><p> </p><p>Unprecedented outbreaks of avian influenza are being seen in both Great Britain and Europe as well as North America. In Great Britain there have been large numbers of deaths associated with positive findings of avian influenza in breeding populations of seabird species. Including those listed as <a href="https://britishbirds.co.uk/sites/default/files/BB_Dec21-BoCC5-IUCN2.pdf" target="_blank">GB Birds of Conservation Concern (BoCC5)</a> (copy attached). The impact on Roseate Terns (red-listed BoCC5 species) and Sandwich Terns (amber-listed BoCC5 species) colonies in particular are of significant concern.</p><p> </p><p>The UK’s seabirds are an important part of our natural heritage, and their protection is a high priority for the government. Defra recognises the significant threat HPAI is posing to our seabird populations Further to the existing Joint Nature Conservation Committee Seabird Monitoring Programme, Natural England has set up a seabird reporting system to collate records of mortality levels in key seabird colonies which will be used to support assessments of the impact on populations and inform recovery programmes. Equivalent systems have been established in Wales and Scotland enabling data to be readily compared across the administrations.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon attachment 1 file name Updated Outbreak Assessment #30 HPAI in the UK and Europe 18 July 2022.pdf title HPAI outbreak assessment 18 July 2022 2 file name BB 2021 DECEMBER (Med-res).pdf title Birds of Conservation Concern Dec 2021 question first answered 28/07/2022 13:40:27 question first ministerially corrected 29/07/2022 09:01:23 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon previous answer version 16176 answering member printed Lord Benyon attachment 1 file name Updated Outbreak Assessment #30 HPAI in the UK and Europe 18 July 2022.pdf title HPAI outbreak assessment 18 July 2022 2 file name BB 2021 DECEMBER (Med-res).pdf title Birds of Conservation Concern Dec 2021 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

This follows our manifesto commitment and reflects the independent Committee on Climate Change (CCC) advice that the phase out date should be 2035 or ideally 2030, and that only battery electric or other low-carbon alternative vehicles, such as hydrogen powered vehicles, should be permitted to be sold after this point.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 16/03/2020 16:27:54 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
