It is important that patients suffering from pernicious anaemia, the result of a vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency, receive a prompt and appropriate diagnosis. Pernicious anaemia develops gradually, and can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, lethargy, feeling faint and headaches, which vary from patient to patient. Because of the gradual progression of the condition, the variety of symptoms, which are shared with a range of other conditions, diagnosis at early onset can be challenging.<\/p>

To support the diagnosis of pernicious anaemia, the British Committee for Standards in Haematology (BCSH) has published Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Cobalamin and Folate disorders,<\/em> which sets out that cobalamin status is the recommended first line diagnostic test. However, the guidance states that there is no gold standard test for the condition and makes it clear that the clinical picture of a patient is the most important factor in assessing the significance of the test results. This means clinicians should take into account all of the symptoms the patent is experiencing, their medical history, age and other relevant factors when considering the implications of a patient\u2019s cobalamin status. The BCSH guidance highlights the risk of neurological impairment if treatment is delayed.<\/p>


The BCSH operates independently of Department and NHS England and produces evidence based guidelines for both clinical and laboratory haematologists on the diagnosis and treatment of haematological disease, drawing on the advice of expert consultants and clinical scientists practicing in the United Kingdom. It would be for the BCSH, not the Department, to consider whether any adjustments to current best practice in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with pernicious anaemia were needed, including whether any new or additional tests were appropriate. A copy of the BCSH guidance document has already been placed in the Library and<\/del> is attached.<\/p>


More general clinical guidance on the diagnosis and management of pernicious anaemia can also be found on the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Clinical Knowledge Summaries website. This is a freely accessible online resource that covers the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of pernicious anaemia, as well as potential complications of the condition. In addition to this, NHS Choices provides similar, though less technical, information on pernicious anaemia for the public.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/127", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Prior of Brampton"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/390599/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "colbalamin and folate disorders.pdf"} , "title" : "BCSH Guidelines pernicious anaemia"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-07-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/390599/answer/previousversion/17459", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/127", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Prior of Brampton"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/390599/answer/previousversion/17459/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "colbalamin and folate disorders.pdf"} , "title" : "BCSH Guidelines pernicious anaemia"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-07-24T13:21:19.45Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2015-10-14T11:21:08.233Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Anaemia"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what action they are taking to address the problems associated with the late diagnosis of pernicious anaemia, in the light of the results of the survey published in the British Nursing Journal<\/i> in April 2014.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1861", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for The Countess of Mar"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "The Countess of Mar"} ], "uin" : "HL1539"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/390600", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/390600/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government has recently commissioned three pieces of work looking into Network Rail:<\/p>

<\/p>

- Dame Colette Bowe is looking at what lessons can be learnt from the planning of the Control Period 5 programme in order to improve future rail infrastructure investment. This will report in September.<\/p>

<\/p>

- Sir Peter Hendy is looking at how we can put the current investment programme back on a sustainable footing. This will also report in the autumn.<\/p>

<\/p>

- Nicola Shaw will look to the future: advising the government on how it should approach the future shape and financing of Network Rail in the longer term. This will report in time for Budget 2016.<\/p>

<\/p>

The terms of reference for Bowe are available in the Libraries of the House. Those for Shaw will also be placed in the Libraries of the House. Terms of reference for Hendy have not been published.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

Terms of reference for the other two pieces of work have not been published.<\/del><\/p>

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office only captures information about cases that come to our attention, rather than holding definitive information on the total number of UK nationals who are victims of murder and manslaughter overseas.<\/p>

The FCO has provided assistance to the following number of cases recorded as murder and manslaughter in each of the last five years:<\/p>

2010 46<\/del>68<\/ins>
2011 70<\/del>78<\/ins>
2012 59<\/del>53<\/ins>

To date, the Royal Navy has rescued 4,752<\/del> 4,747<\/ins> persons under its Search and Rescue mission in the Mediterranean. The Royal Navy does not record whether a rescued person is a refugee or an economic migrant; this is the responsibility of the receiving nation (in this instance, Italy). The Ministry of Defence does not hold overall statistics of all those rescued at sea by other nations.<\/p>

A total of 49,173 international child passport applications finished processing in January-June 2015. Of this total, 2,418 (4.9%)<\/del> 3,242 (6.6%)<\/ins> took longer than three months to be processed, 1,780 (3.6%)<\/del> 2,539 (5.2%)<\/ins> took longer than four months to be processed, and 944 (1.9%)<\/del> 1,657 (3.4%)<\/ins> took longer than six months to be processed.<\/p>

The processing time is the length of time from receipt of the application to the passport being printed. For international child passport applications processed in the same period, the average processing time was 19.4 working days. Information is not held on the time between receipt of application and interview date as the date of interview can be subject to customer availability.<\/p>

Her Majesty\u2019s Passport Office must be fully satisfied that all appropriate checks have been completed successfully prior to the issuance of passport facilities. This is particularly important in relation to child applications as part of Her Majesty\u2019s Passport Office responsibility to protect potentially vulnerable children, including those potentially at risk of child trafficking and to maintain the integrity of the British Passport.<\/p>

These checks can require the provision of information from other agencies overseas \u2013 particularly in complex applications such as surrogacy cases.<\/p>

Delays in the provision of this information to HMPO can lead to significantly extended timeframe in processing applications.<\/p>
