answer text <p>It is the Government’s intention to lay the remedial order, which will allow single people to apply for a parental order in a surrogacy arrangement, after the summer recess. The order will include a provision to allow for retrospective application for a parental order by single people.</p><p> </p><p>The Government supports the inclusion of a review of surrogacy legislation in the Law Commission’s 13<sup>th</sup> programme of law reform. The Department has not made any alternative plans for a review of surrogacy but would consider options carefully, if, for any reason, the Law Commission decides not to proceed.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government recognises that regional air connectivity across the UK is very important and airports support regional economies, create skilled employment opportunities and enable business and leisure travel. However, the UK aviation market operates in a competitive, commercial environment; it is therefore for airlines to determine which routes they operate.</p><p> </p><p>The Government provides financial support through Public Service Obligations (PSO) in a limited number of cases to ensure that all regions of the UK maintain air connectivity to the capital, which include:</p><p> </p><ul><li>£2.85million for a two-year PSO route between Dundee and London Stansted Airport;</li><li>£2.87million for a four-year PSO route between Newquay Cornwall and London Gatwick Airport; and</li><li>£3.78 million for a two-year PSO route between City of Derry Airport to London Stansted Airport</li></ul><p> </p><p>The Government is also committed to developing a new Aviation Strategy and we will be setting out our proposed approach in due course.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>No central assessment has been made of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) clinical services established between 2004 and 2006. The commissioning of services for people with CFS/ME is a local matter, and the management of patients within such services is the responsibility of the commissioners, providers and clinicians responsible for their care. Clinical commissioning groups have a duty to exercise their functions effectively, efficiently and economically</p><p> </p><p>Since its publication in 2007, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) clinical guideline on the management of CFS/ME in adults and children, which set outs best practice on the care, treatment and support of people with the condition, has supported the local National Health Service in delivering services for people with the condition. The guidance recognises the challenges in managing a condition for which there is no definitive diagnostic test, no clear understanding of the causes and process of disease and no cure. The guidance is also clear that there is no one form of treatment to suit every patient and that treatment and care should take into account the personal needs and preferences of the patient. NICE is currently reviewing the guidance to ensure it reflects the latest available evidence and a decision regarding this matter is expected shortly.</p><p><br></p>

answer text <p>There are no plans to set up an independent review of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) services. Services for patients with CFS/ME are supported by independent, evidence-based guidance produced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence on the diagnosis, treatment and support of patients with the condition. Commissioners should deliver services that meet the needs of local popuations. Assessments of service need for CFS/ME may be supported by the available population prevalence estimates as required.</p> more like this
