When inviting women to participate in young person and adult screening, National Health Service screening programmes send a letter of invitation with information about why screening is being offered and the benefits and risks of the offer, to enable individuals to make a personal informed choice.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the antenatal period, general practitioners (GPs) provide expectant mothers with the \u2018Screening for you and your baby\u2019 booklet, which explains the screening tests offered during and after pregnancy and the GP will discuss each screening offer at subsequent appointments. This booklet is available to view at the following link:<\/p>

<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/screening-tests-for-you-and-your-baby-description-in-brief<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

It is important that women who wish to participate in screening engage in screening programmes that are recommended by the United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UK NSC), allowing women to make personal informed choices at each step of the screening pathway. The UK NSC helps provide women who wish to engage in private screening with information and has written a blog to help individuals think about the outcomes before engaging in private screening. The blog is available to view at the following link:<\/p>

NHS Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme offers screening to all eligible pregnant women in England to check the baby for 12 fetal anomalies which include Down\u2019s, Edwards\u2019 and Patau\u2019s syndromes. Fetal anomalies are described as structural abnormalities of the developing fetus.<\/p>

<\/p>

The characteristics, causes and complications of Down\u2019s Syndrome are described on NHS.UK and there is additional information on the support available to families expecting, or who have had a baby with Down\u2019s Syndrome.<\/p>

<\/p>

Public Health England provides a Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme Handbook which offers practical guidance to support healthcare professionals in the operational delivery of the screening pathway. NHS England encourages clinical staff to refer to these sources of information when explaining Down\u2019s Syndrome to families.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme requires that there is equal access to uniform and quality-assured screening across England, and women are provided with high quality information so they can make an personal informed choice about their screening and pregnancy options. Education and training resources are available for staff covering all stages of the process, from informing women of test availability, through to understanding and supporting their decisions.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4065", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thurrock"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jackie Doyle-Price"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-03-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-03-20T16:22:26.253Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-03-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Down's Syndrome"} , "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 and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 18 February 2018 to Question 217546, on Down's Syndrome, what plans she has to address the effect of her Department's description of Down's Syndrome as an abnormality on (a) people with Down's Syndrome who read or hear that description and (b) familities who read or hear that description of a member of their family either before or after birth.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3958", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Fiona Bruce"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Congleton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Fiona Bruce"} ], "uin" : "231430"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1087268", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Women and Equalities"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1087268/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Since 2010, the National Institute for Health Research has funded three studies which provide evidence on the effects of screening for sickle cell anaemia and deafness on individuals and families who live with these conditions:<\/p>

- \u201cInvolving fathers in ante-natal screening for sickle cell disorders: improving informed decision making\u201d, which explored fathers\u2019 attitudes and perceptions of the ante-natal testing for sickle cell disorders, identifying potential factors which influence uptake of testing to improve take-up;<\/p>

- \u201cRethinking Strategies for Positive Newborn Screening Result Delivery (ReSPoND): a process evaluation of co-designing interventions to minimise impact on parental emotional well-being and stress\u201d. This project is active and aims to bring parents and health professionals together to co-design interventions to facilitate effective communication of positive results to parents by health professionals to minimise any long-term negative health and psychological consequences; and<\/p>

Spinal surgery for spina bifida for babies in the womb is among new, innovative treatments that will be routinely available on the National Health Service for the first time.<\/p>

<\/p>

The procedure for unborn children with spina bifida, whose spine and spinal cord do not develop properly, allows pregnant women to be treated closer to home and their families.<\/p>

<\/p>

Pain relief for the unborn baby will be delivered intra-operatively. This is administered before the fetal surgery, after the uterus is opened. The fetus will be monitored during the procedure by ultrasound to check the fetal heart rate. The surgery takes place between 20 and 26 weeks of gestation.<\/p>

The Department funds research on health and social care through the National Institute for Health Research. The Department has not commissioned any such studies directly concerned with the long-term effects of abortion. However, a study currently underway, aims to provide the research and practical evidence base to deliver quality improvement in preconception care, to prevent unplanned pregnancies and abortion, and to mitigate the adverse impacts of unplanned pregnancies. This study is due to report in December 2021.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4065", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thurrock"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jackie Doyle-Price"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-02-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-14T12:07:16.003Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Abortion"} , "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 and Social Care, what research his Department has commissioned in the last five years into the long-term effect of abortion on (a) future miscarriages, (b) premature births, (c) suicide and (d) other health issues among women (i) under 25 and (ii) of other ages.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3958", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Fiona Bruce"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Congleton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Fiona Bruce"} ], "uin" : "217545"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&QuestionStatus=Tabled&tablingMemberConstituency=Congleton&max-questionFirstAnswered.=2019-06-19T12%3A02%3A28.827Z&writtenParliamentaryQuestionType=Ordinary", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 413, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
