It is not possible to provide separate figures for those who have and do not have an inherited bleeding disorder. Not all deaths will have been reported to the current or former infected blood payment schemes, and cause of death is not recorded, so data here cannot be considered to be representative of all deaths since 11 July 2017.<\/p>

The former infected blood payment schemes responsible for beneficiaries in England, Wales and Northern Ireland ceased operation on 31 October 2017. A new infected blood support scheme was launched on 1 November 2017 and covers England only. The data is split to reflect these changes.<\/p>

A new panel contract was put in place in May 2017. Pre-May 2017 rates continue to apply where the instruction was received before May 2017 and the case is still active.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS Resolution has advised that Panel Lawyers are paid the same rate whether they win a case or not. Fixed/capped fees are applied on a number of cases in litigation to ensure cases are not prolonged.<\/p>

<\/p>

Performance indicators including time to resolution and legal costs are monitored for all panel firms as part of the contract management arrangements. Defence costs are monitored very carefully on a monthly basis and immediate steps are taken with the relevant firm under the contractual agreement with them to ensure that costs do not escalate.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department oversees NHS Resolution\u2019s performance through its sponsorship arrangements. This includes formal accountability reviews between senior departmental officials and the leadership of NHS Resolution.<\/p>

General practitioners\u2019 and dentists\u2019 indemnity to cover clinical negligence payments is currently provided privately by Medical Defence Organisations.

No assessment has been made by the Department on whether introducing a compulsory eyesight test for children aged under five would have an effect on the number of diagnoses of Amblyopia and other serious eye conditions in childhood.<\/p>

<\/p>

All babies have eye screening at birth and again at about six weeks of age by a general practitioner (GP) or health visitor.<\/p>

<\/p>

In most parts of England, children are offered a screening test to look for reduced vision in one or both eyes during their first year at school.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition all children aged under 16 are eligible for free National Health Service sight tests and parents and carers are encouraged to raise any health concerns, including eye health concerns, with their GP.<\/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" : "2018-01-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-29T16:58:38.037Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Eyesight: Testing"} , "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 assessment his Department has made of the potential effect of introducing a compulsory eyesight test for all children aged under 5 on the number of diagnoses of (a) Amblyopia and (b) other serious eye conditions in childhood.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4588", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tracy Brabin"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Batley and Spen"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tracy Brabin"} ], "uin" : "124775"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/830247", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/830247/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
