answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government believes that high speed rail offers the most suitable approach to promoting economic growth and providing the long-term transport capacity our country needs. It utilises proven technologies, while untested systems such as Hyperloop risk delay to delivery, which would mean a delay to much needed capacity increases between London and Birmingham, and cost overruns.</p><p> </p><p>We have considered a wide range of alternative options to a high speed railway including the use of alternative modes, a conventional speed line and upgrades to the existing rail network. Alternatives, such as the use of double deck trains on the West Coast Main Line, do not release capacity for commuter and freight services, fail to offer a robust solution to the problem of poor performance and would significantly disrupt services as upgrade work is carried out to rebuild the tunnels, bridges and other railway infrastructure that would be needed to accommodate these trains.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The objective of the immunisation programme against pneumococcal infection is to protect individuals for whom such infection is likely to be more common and/or serious. The following groups are eligible for vaccination under the national immunisation programme:</p><p> </p><p>- infants as part of the routine childhood immunisation programme;</p><p>- those aged 65 years or over; and</p><p>- children and adults in the clinical risk groups.</p><p>We are not aware of any supply problems with pneumococcal vaccines.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The levels of uptake of pneumococcal vaccines are high. Latest uptake figures show that 94.4% of children in England had completed a primary immunisation course of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine at 12 months of age in 2012-13. This compares with 94.2% in 2011-12. Corresponding figures in adults aged 65 years or over for pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine was 69.1% in 2012-13 compared to 68.3% in 2011-12.</p><p> </p> more like this

However, vaccine for the programme for children aged two to 16 years, which began in 2013 and is being rolled out progressively, has been centrally procured. Experience of the childhood flu immunisation programme will help inform consideration of arrangements for procurement of influenza vaccine more widely.</p> more like this
