answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2023 answer text <p>The UK Health Security Agency’s antimicrobial resistance (AMR) programme is committed to tackling and reducing antimicrobial health inequalities nationwide. Over the years, the AMR health inequalities workstream has taken a systematic approach to increasing our work to understand and address health inequalities in relation to AMR. This involves improving our understanding of the association between health inequalities and antimicrobial usage and resistance; developing a health inequalities and AMR engagement strategy including learning from the wider public health community; and producing recommendations for public health action.</p><p> </p><p>Future projects include surveying knowledge, attitudes, and health-seeking behaviours towards antibiotics in different populations, identifying and improving surveillance reporting gaps required to understand the impact of AMR and AMR-targeted interventions on Core20PLUS populations, and publishing the health inequalities scoping review. The Core20PLUS populations include vulnerable migrants, people in contact with the justice system and people experiencing homelessness.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, antibiotic consumption data within prisons, which is grouped with “other community settings”, are monitored and published annually within the antimicrobial consumption chapter of the <em>English surveillance programme for antimicrobial utilisation and resistance (ESPAUR) report</em>.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 14/02/2023 11:53:34 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2023 answer text <p>The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition is currently carrying out a scoping review of the evidence on processed foods and health, including cancer, and aims to publish a position statement in the summer of 2023.</p><p>Diets high in foods classified as processed are often also high in calories, sugar, saturated fat and salt and low in fibre, which is associated with an increased risk of chronic illnesses including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. The Government encourages everyone to have a healthy balanced diet in line with the United Kingdom’s healthy eating model, the Eatwell Guide, which shows that foods high in fat, salt or sugar should be eaten less often or in small amounts.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 09/02/2023 12:34:26 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have (1) to remove the Good Choice badge from ultra-processed food products, and (2) to introduce dietary guidelines addressing ultra-processed food and drink.

uin	HL5295
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2023 answer text <p>We do not currently have plans to change the way the Good Choice badge is used. The Good Choice badge helps people identify healthier options using the NHS Food Scanner application and when shopping in store and online. The application helps families to see what's in their food and drinks and suggests healthier alternatives, where these exist, that can help them cut down on sugar, saturated fat and salt. Together, the application and wider Better Health campaign support families on their journey towards having a healthier diet, as making the step to the healthiest option may be too far for many people in one move.</p><p>Government dietary guidelines are based on advice from expert groups, including the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN). SACN is currently carrying out a scoping review of the evidence on processed foods and health and aims to publish a position statement in the summer of 2023.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 09/02/2023 12:35:17 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
