I have recently returned from the US where I had a meeting with the Executive Director of UN Women and others active in the field to discuss the Commission on the Status of Women that will be held in March next year. This is the principal global event on womens\u2019 rights organised by the UN.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the summer we hosted two global events \u2013 a summit with a focus on preventing sexual violence in conflict, which generated strong international support; and a girl summit, which brought together a range of international stakeholders to accelerate momentum in tackling child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation.<\/p>

The department\u2019s THINK! road safety campaign recently launched its 50 years of drink drive campaigning on the 7th<\/sup> November. The campaign has used the 50 year milestone to mark the progress made in reducing drink drive deaths on our road while underlining that \u2013 with 230 lives lost in 2012 \u2013 there is still a long way to go. One death caused by drink driving is one death too many.<\/p>

We continually look for opportunities to strengthen our response. As part of the Government\u2019s Counter-terrorism strategy, Prevent has necessarily focussed on the hardest end of extremism.<\/p>

<\/p>

That is why the Home Secretary recently announced that the Home Office will assume responsibility for a new counter-extremism strategy that extends beyond terrorism. <\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

The strategy will aim to better identify extremism in all its forms, confront it, challenge it and defeat it.<\/p>

The estimated impact and outcomes of the NHS Health Check programme are based on economic modelling published by the Department in 2008.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department\u2019s Policy Research Programme (PRP) has commissioned two independent studies on the NHS Health Check programme, both of which are currently ongoing. One study is being led by Queen Mary\u2019s School of Medicine and Dentistry, the other by Imperial College London. There are also a number of research projects, within both the Policy Research Programme (PRP) and National Institute for Health Research portfolios, which will have relevance for different aspects of NHS Health Checks and other related services.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition to these peer-reviewed academic research projects, there are multiple local evaluations of the programme being undertaken.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Public Health England, which supports local government in their responsibility to implement NHS Health Checks throughout the country, has set up an Expert Scientific and Clinical Advisory Panel to bring greater scientific rigour to the programme. The panel is due to publish a research and evaluation strategy which will establish a clear outline of the research and evaluation priorities for the future implementation of the programme.<\/p>

The Next Steps Commissioning Guidance developed by the Department for primary care trusts explicitly recognises the merit of pharmacy involvement for NHS Health Check programme.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

While the majority of NHS Health Checks are presently carried out within general practices, a growing number are being delivered by community pharmacy.<\/p>

<\/p>

Public Health England (PHE) is currently conducting a survey to further enhance its understanding of the involvement of pharmacies in NHS Health Check.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

PHE has been engaging local authorities and pharmacy providers to explore the benefits of using community pharmacy as a provider of the NHS Health Check. Consequently, several local authorities and pharmacy stores are exploring potential pilots, including Leeds Council and Asda. Learning from these pilots will be shared through the NHS Health Check learning network, which is managed by PHE.<\/p>

There are a range of offences dealing with the importation of restricted goods, counterfeiting, fraud and the sale of illicit goods and it is therefore not possible to identify those convictions specifically relating to tobacco. There are high penalties available for these serious offences, for example revenue fraud offences carry a maximum penalty of seven years' imprisonment. Sentencing in individual cases is a matter for our independent courts.<\/p>
