On 22 November 2018, the Government published a two-year action plan and response to the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) Safety Review Call for Evidence. This made clear its commitment to the hierarchy of road users.<\/p>
Included within CWIS SR action plan is a commitment to review the guidance in The Highway Code to improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians. We are currently agreeing the scope and delivery of this review, and would expect the hierarchy of road users to fall within scope.

Consultant surgeons go through a standardised training and education process and must pass examinations and have confirmation of their surgical competence by their supervisors before they can join the General Medical Council\u2019s (GMC) Specialist Register.<\/p>
Unless they are on this Specialist Register they cannot practise as consultant surgeons in England. As practising surgeons, they are expected to maintain a Licence to Practise through the GMC's process of revalidation that must be renewed by application every five years and which is associated with annual appraisal. This includes reflection on their performance, continuing professional development, any involvement in serious incidents or complaints, feedback from multi professional colleagues and patients and quality improvement activities.<\/p>
Typically, the Medical Director of a hospital trust employing surgeons will ensure that numbers and outcomes of surgical procedures carried out by a consultant surgeon are included in their appraisal reflection and discussion. Consultants and their appraisers have a professional responsibility to inform the Medical Director if they have concerns about surgical performance including for non-mesh hernia repair treatments.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4019", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-04-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-10T14:44:55.687Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Hernias: Surgery"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford on 25 March (HL14391), how they ensure that all consultant general surgeons are fully trained to maintain their skills in carrying out non-mesh hernia repair treatments.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2024", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Hunt of Kings Heath"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Hunt of Kings Heath"} ], "uin" : "HL15007"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1108849", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1108849/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
