https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/digestive-health/<\/a><\/p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published best practice guidance, and a corresponding quality standard, on diagnosing and managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in people aged 18 and over [CG61 and QS114]. These set out recommendations and quality standards for clinicians on the care for patients with IBS by promoting effective management using dietary and lifestyle advice, pharmacological therapy and referral for psychological interventions.<\/p>
To assist with increasing the visibility of its guidance, NICE promotes its guidance via its website, newsletters and other media. It also publishes information for the public, which explains the care people with IBS should receive as set out in the NICE guideline.<\/p>"}

We have been running an extensive communications campaign since April 2022 to raise awareness of Pension Credit and encourage eligible pensioners to check their eligibility and apply. The main features of the campaign included advertising in regional and national newspapers, on national and local broadcast radio and across selected TV channels. We have also undertaken mini-bursts of communications activity to highlighted that successful Pension Credit claims mean qualification for Cost of Living Payments.<\/p>
<\/p>
There is a strong indication that it is having a positive effect. The number of Pension Credit applications is up by around 75% in the 12 months to May 2023 compared to the same period the year before.<\/p>
<\/p>
In July we launched an \u201cInvitation to Claim\u201d trial which involved contacting approximately 2,500 pensioner households identified as being likely to be entitled to Pension Credit and encouraging them to contact DWP and make a claim.<\/p>"}

The UK Government does not hold this information and is a matter for the Northern Ireland Civil Service.<\/p>
However, we are committed to combatting fraud through prevention, detection and taking action against those who commit it.<\/p>
The Cabinet Office worked with HM Treasury to launch the Public Sector Fraud Authority (PSFA) in August 2022. The PSFA is the government\u2019s centre of expertise and works with ministerial departments and public bodies to understand and reduce the impact of public sector fraud. The PSFA provides counter fraud data analytics capability through the National Fraud Initiative (NFI) to public bodies including those in Northern Ireland. Between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2022, the NFI achieved £4.4 million of counter fraud savings through the prevention or recovery of fraud in Northern Ireland.<\/p>
The Rt Hon. Jeremy Quin MP, Minister for the Cabinet Office and HM Paymaster General, has not had any meetings on the subject of fraudulent or incorrect payments paid out by public bodies with the Department of Finance in Northern Ireland.<\/p>
