NHS England will continue to make funding available in 2018/19 to support the vaccination of social care workers that offer direct patient/client care. This will supplement any established occupational health schemes that employers have in place to offer the flu vaccination to their workforce. In addition, funding will be extended to include health and care staff in the voluntary managed hospice sector that offer direct patient/client care.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England will be writing to organisations representing the independent and voluntary care sector shortly to confirm the details of the scheme for 2018/19.<\/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" : "2018-07-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-09T14:18:55.033Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Influenza: Vaccination"} , "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, whether funding will be made available from the public purse to provide free flu vaccinations for staff working in independent care services for the winter of 2018-19.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4244", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jonathan Ashworth"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leicester South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jonathan Ashworth"} ], "uin" : "160750"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/934748", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/934748/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Our ambition is to see further advertising restrictions applied which limit children\u2019s exposure to high fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) food and drink advertising, incentivise reformulation, and ensure that the healthiest of products are advertised freely across all programming. We also want to put control back into parents\u2019 hands by making it clearer for them when and where HFSS adverts can and cannot be shown, so that they can make the best choices for their children.<\/p>
<\/p>
The consultation will explore options for implementing a 9pm watershed on TV advertising to ensure that any restrictions are proportionate, help to incentivise reformulation in line with the aims of the sugar and calorie reduction programmes, and consider a focus on those products that children consume and most contribute to the problem of childhood obesity.<\/p>
