answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government has decided not to procure Evusheld for prevention through emergency routes at this time. This is a decision based on independent clinical advice by the multi- agency initiative, RAPID C-19 and a national expert policy working group. These groups considered a range of evidence, including clinical trial data, in vitro analysis and emerging observational studies and concluded there is currently insufficient evidence of benefit to recommend deployment. The Chief Medical Officer for England is content that the correct process for providing clinical advice has been followed and agree that this should now be referred to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence for further evaluation. The Department intends to publish further details of the clinical advice received shortly.</p><p>Immunocompromised patients are a priority cohort for COVID-19 treatments. Sotrovimab, a neutralising monoclonal antibody and antiviral drugs are available for patients in the community at high risk of progression to severe COVID-19, hospitalisations or death. Individuals aged five years old and over with weakened immune systems will be offered an autumn booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 27/09/2022 13:35:05 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

Under the terms of the Common Framework, a debtor country that signs an MoU with participating official creditors will be required to seek from all private creditors a treatment at least as favourable. Accordingly, once Zambia signs an MoU for its case it will need to engage its private creditors to ensure their participation on comparable terms.</p><p>The Government routinely engages private sector creditors on international debt issues in a number of fora and will work closely with its international partners to ensure private creditors fully play their part in Zambia’s restructuring.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 22/09/2022 07:41:44 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith

As such, 2022 has been described as a transition year and overall, the results have reflected the policy intention for outcomes this year to be between 2019 and 2021. This year’s results are higher than in 2019 and lower than 2021, when teacher assessed grades were used as the method of assessment.</p><p>The Joint Council for Qualifications and Ofqual have published further breakdowns of results for GCSE and A levels according to gender, centre type and by region. At a regional level, the trends are broadly stable compared to previous years, with London and the South East having the highest proportion of entries for A level and GCSEs and achieving the highest grades. In 2022, girls continue to outperform boys at all grades overall for GCSEs and A levels.</p><p>Results by other pupil characteristics, including disadvantage, are not yet available for GCSEs or A levels. The department publishes this data in as timely a way as possible. This year, improvements to processing mean it is possible bring forward the publishing of this data from January 2023 to October 2022 for GCSEs, and to November 2022 for A levels.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 26/09/2022 09:05:28 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
