The Special Jurisdiction for Peace continues to function under currently existing legal provisions despite the recent objections of President Duque to certain articles of the law.

Our Ambassador in Bogota informed President Duque of Colombia of the UK position on the Special Jurisdiction for Peace on 11 March during a briefing for the international community. He emphasised the importance of finalising the legal underpinning for the transitional justice system as quickly as possible to mitigate the risk of undermining its authority and reducing cooperation with the FARC.

The water quality in the River Quaggy is tested regularly by the Environment Agency, however river water quality is only one factor that can contribute to contamination in a flooding event. In times of flood there is the potential for additional contamination such as sewage leaking from flooded drains.<\/p>

Public Health England has published guidance for those responding to flooding emergencies and undertaking subsequent recovery activity. This guidance includes the potential public health risks associated with the flooding of sport playing fields and is available to view here:<\/p>

In May 2017 Greenwich Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) carried out a review of the 35 general practitioner (GP) practices in the borough. This showed that 24 (68%) practices had fully functional Patient Participation Groups (PPGs).<\/p>

In May 2018 Greenwich CCG undertook a further review which showed that 31 (88%) practices now had a fully functional PPG.<\/p>

NHS England does not provide guidance about whether community groups can become PPGs. PPGs are specific to GP practices and included in the GP contract as a way in which practices can engage with their practice population.

This is part of their duty to involve patients and the public and is covered in the guidance for CCGs last published in 2017.
