The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed is important in enabling the management of food and feed safety risks by providing early alerts of health or food contamination issues across the European Union. At present, this enables the United Kingdom to respond quickly to serious risks to public health relating to food and animal feed. The Government is considering the best approach for the management of notification of food and feed safety risks once we have left the EU. It will be our priority to maintain the UK\u2019s high standards of food and feed safety, and continue to be able to provide a timely response to food safety incidents. This is essential for the protection of public health, and for maintaining consumer confidence in food.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-08T16:36:22.063Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-12-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "EU Rapid Alert Systems for Food and Feed"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether the UK will continue to participate in the EU Rapid Alert Systems for Food and Feed after the UK leaves the EU.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4682", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Luke Pollard"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Luke Pollard"} ], "uin" : "121047"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/804608", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/804608/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government hugely values the contribution of all the European Union staff working across health and social care. The Government is committed to ensuring a clear pathway to permanent residency for these EU citizens.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department continues to monitor and analyse overall staffing levels across social care, and the Secretary of State has made it clear that there will continue to be sufficient staff to deliver the high quality services on which the public rely following the United Kingdom\u2019s exit from the EU.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> We are aware that our challenge, working alongside stakeholders in the adult social care sector, is to ensure the workforce has the right number of people to meet increasing demand, with the right skills, knowledge and values to deliver quality, compassionate care.<\/p> <\/p> That is why we have set out a plan to attract and retain talented staff, backed by an additional £2 billion investment in the sector over the next three years and a commitment to publishing a Green Paper by summer 2018, setting out proposals for reform to ensure sustainability in social care in the long term.<\/p>"}
