Public Health England does not hold data on the number of adults who are classified as overweight and obese by ward or constituency.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Data on Childhood obesity at a sub-national level for England are collected through the National Childhood Measurement Programme for two school year groups Reception (4-5 year olds) and Year 6 (10-11 years olds).<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Due to the small numbers of children classified as overweight and obese at ward level the data within the table are presented as a total figure for the 3 year period 2010/11 to 2012/13.<\/p>

Public Health England has confirmed that there is currently no evidence of human cases of hepatitis A in England and Wales with the same strain as that seen in the Australian outbreak, thought to be linked to frozen berries from China.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

The United Kingdom monitors the European Commission\u2019s Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) to ensure that we are aware of any problems linked to consignments of Food of Non-Animal Origin (FNAO) arriving into the European Union from non-EU countries.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has an early warning system in place to identify potential emerging risks from FNAO. If any of the data analysed suggests an increased risk to health from hepatitis A the FSA will advise Port Health Authorities (PHAs) to target their sampling to this risk at UK borders.<\/p>

NHS England\u2019s Action for Diabetes makes it clear that if we are to improve the health outcomes of people living with diabetes, we must improve individuals\u2019 personal management of their condition and empower them to take charge of their own care.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Quality Standard for diabetes sets out that people with diabetes should receive a structured educational programme. NHS England is statutorily required to have regard to this. NHS England aims to use the new indicator in the Quality and Outcomes Framework and the new best practice tariff to promote provision of structured education for those with diabetes.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

There are a number of national and locally developed patient education programmes available including Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating (DAFNE) for Type 1 diabetes, and Diabetes Education and Self-management for Ongoing and Newly Diagnosed (DESMOND) for Type 2 diabetes. A range of tools and guidance to help local services choose the best programmes to meet the needs of their local population is also available, for example the web based Transforming Participation in Health and Care tool.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The proportion of people with diabetes being offered structured education is improving. 16% of people newly diagnosed with diabetes were offered structured education in 2012/13 compared to 8.4% of those diagnosed in 2009. In the same period the number of people newly diagnosed with diabetes offered or attending structured education rose from 11% to 18.4%.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

Public Health England, NHS England and Diabetes UK are currently working together to establish a national diabetes prevention programme, making us the first country to implement such a programme at scale, modelled on national and international proven experience.<\/p>

General practitioners may also continue to offer immunisation to all those who have become eligible as 70 year olds from 1 September 2013 but have not yet been immunised.<\/p>

We are committed to delivering the JCVI\u2019s recommendation in full. Eligibility criteria for immunisation in each year of the programme are informed by the volumes of vaccine that have been contracted and scheduled for delivery in that particular year.<\/p>

The NHS England is under specific legal duties in relation to tackling health inequalities and advancing equality. Regarding kidney disease, the NHS Health Check programme, a universal programme for everyone between the ages of 40-74 years that launched in 2008, assess people\u2019s risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and diabetes. It is estimated that the programme could detect at least 20,000 cases of diabetes or kidney disease earlier, allowing individuals to be better managed and to improve their quality of life.<\/p>

Local authorities, which are responsible for roll-out of the NHS Health Check in their respective areas, can choose to target high-risk groups, such as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups, to encourage participation in the programme, if appropriate. Guidance and tools for commissioners, clinicians and local authorities on the programme, including case study examples on its application in specific communities, can be found at the following link:<\/p>

More generally, health and wellbeing boards (HWBs), and the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) process that they oversee, offer valuable opportunities to drive local efforts to reduce inequalities locally, including those in BAME groups. HWBs provide a forum where all commissioners can come together to jointly plan services to meet the needs of local populations. Consideration should be given by HWBs to meeting the Public Sector Equality Duties under the Equality Act 2010 throughout the JSNA process and in the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy that are then produced.<\/p>
