answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2024 answer text <p>We have had no such discussions with NHS England. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) makes recommendations on whether all new medicines, including gene therapies, should be routinely funded by the National Health Service based on an assessment of their costs and benefits. The NHS is legally required to make funding available for NICE recommended treatments, usually within three months of the publication of final guidance. NICE has been able to recommend several gene therapies for use on the NHS, often subject to commercial agreements proposed through the NICE appraisal process, that are now available for the treatment of eligible patients.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 08/01/2024 10:30:49 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2024 answer text <p>Introducing statutory regulation for these roles will enhance patient safety. Regulation will provide a standardised framework of governance and assurance for clinical practice and professional conduct, to enable anaesthesia associates (AAs) and physician associates (Pas) to make a greater contribution to patient care.</p><p> </p><p>The assessment of the appropriate regulatory body for PA and AA regulation was completed in 2019 following a public consultation. Most respondents to the consultation were in favour of the General Medical Council (GMC) taking on regulation.</p><p> </p><p>Regulation by the GMC will mean that the organisation will have responsibility and oversight of doctors, AAs and PAs, allowing them to take a holistic approach to the education, training and standards of all three roles. This will enable a more coherent and co-ordinated approach to regulation and, by making it easier for employers, patients, and the public to understand the relationship between these roles and doctors, help to embed them in the workforce.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 08/01/2024 10:35:58 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

uin	7733
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2024 answer text <p>The UK is committed to a sustainable and permanent ceasefire and is actively engaging international partners to achieve this. This means a ceasefire that will last and prevent another generation of children living under the constant threat of war; Hamas no longer in power in Gaza, being able to threaten Israel with rocket attacks and other forms of terrorism; and the immediate release of hostages still being held. Ahead of a permanent ceasefire, we want to see immediate and sustained humanitarian pauses. This will allow a window for hostages to leave and more aid to enter Gaza - helping to create the conditions for a durable peace. We want to see a peaceful resolution to this conflict as soon as possible and the UK will work with international partners to ensure the implementation of this resolution.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 16/01/2024 17:37:35 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
