answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2022 answer text <p>The value for money and performance of multilateral organisations receiving Official Development Assistance (ODA) is continually assessed in FCDO annual reviews and business cases, as well as by the independent Multilateral Organisation Performance Assessment Network (MOPAN), which the UK is a member of. Multilateral ODA offers value for money by providing economies of scale and leveraging private sector investment. The UK's funding to multilateral organisations was reviewed for alignment to UK objectives and organisational effectiveness through the Multilateral Development Review (MDR) in 2016. The Independent Commission for Aid Impact also independently scrutinises the impact of UK ODA to multilaterals, for example reviews of 'The UK support to the World Bank's International Development Association' and 'Tackling fraud in UK aid through multilateral organisations' were completed this year.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 15/11/2022 14:03:06 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

tabling member printed	Lord Shinkwin
uin	HL3063
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2016 answer text <p>The Department takes advice on all aspects of screening from the independent UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) and has met with its Secretariat to discuss its recommendation on non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for Down’s, Edwards’ and Patau’s syndromes as an additional test in the current NHS Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme.</p><p> </p><p>NIPT presents a more accurate and safer screen for Down’s syndrome and reduces the need for diagnostic invasive prenatal testing, which carries a risk of miscarriage. Modelling suggests that NIPT, as an additional test in the current screening pathway will result in the number of women offered invasive prenatal diagnosis (IPD) tests reducing from 7,910 to 1,434, leading to a reduction in IPD-related miscarriage of pregnancies from 46 to 3 per year. The new test will be offered to pregnant women whose chance of having a baby with Down’s, Edwards’ or Patau’s syndromes is greater than 1 in 150.</p><p> </p><p>As is standard practice, the UK NSC held a three month public consultation to enable stakeholders to feed into the review. 30 responses were received to the consultation from a wide range of stakeholders. A copy of the responses to the consultation is attached.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is satisfied that the screening programme is compliant with its obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and that the Programme is compliant with any obligations under the Equality Act.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton grouped question UIN HL3062 question first answered 21/11/2016 14:17:35 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton attachment 1 file name 20161110 - HL3062 and HL3063 - UK NSC cfDNA Consultation Responses.pdf title Consultation Responses
