NICE published guidance in August 2022 recommending both ceftazidime with avibactam and cefiderocol for treating severe drug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections. This was as part of a project to test a new health technology evaluation process and payment model for antimicrobial products. NHS England has now issued contracts with the suppliers and cefiderocol and ceftazidime with avibactamare available for clinicians to prescribe in line with NICE’s recommendations.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 09/11/2023 17:51:11 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2023 answer text <p>The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) collects data on children aged four to five years old (Reception) and 10 to 11 years old (Year 6). The following table shows data from the NCMP on the percentage of children living with obesity in Reception and Year 6 in the academic year 2022-23. Data is not available at Parliamentary constituency level but is available at local authority and regional levels:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Area</p></td><td><p>Reception (%)</p></td><td><p>Year 6 (%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Enfield</p></td><td><p>10.8</p></td><td><p>28.0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>9.3</p></td><td><p>24.8</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Local authorities and the National Health Service provide weight management services to support children and families to achieve and maintain a healthier weight. Local authorities can fund behavioural weight management services from their Public Health Grant.</p><p> </p><p>In England, new regulations on out-of-home calorie labelling for food sold in large businesses, including restaurants, cafes, and takeaways, came into force in April 2022. Restrictions on the placement of less healthy products in key selling locations in store and online came into force in October 2022. The location restrictions are the single most impactful obesity policy in reducing children’s calorie consumption and are expected to accrue health benefits of over £57 billion and provide savings to the NHS of over £4 billion over the next 25 years.</p><p> </p><p>We are also working with the food industry to make further progress on reformulation and ensure it is easier for the public to make healthier choices. We have seen important successes including the average sugar content of drinks subject to the Soft Drinks Industry Levy decreasing by 46% between 2015 and 2020. There has also been success in some categories of the sugar reduction programme, including a 14.9% reduction of sugar in retailer- and manufacturer-branded breakfast cereals and a 13.5% reduction in yogurts and fromage frais.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 07/12/2023 16:37:09 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2023 answer text <p>General practice does not operate with waiting lists. NHS England publishes monthly data on General Practice Appointments, including the approximate length of time between appointments being booked and taking place, but this is not a proxy for a “waiting list”.</p><p>There are several factors which can influence the timing of appointments, and it is not possible to estimate the time between the patient’s first attempt to contact their surgery and an appointment. For example, routine appointments such as screening tests or regular injections may be booked further in advance.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom grouped question UIN 649 question first answered 19/12/2023 16:48:49 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

uin	572
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2023 answer text <p>In July 2022, we announced a package of reforms to improve access to National Health Service dentistry, which outlined the steps we are taking to meet oral health need and increase access to dental care, including London. The changes that have been implemented include improvements to ensure dentists are remunerated more fairly for more complex work and the introduction of a minimum Units of Dental Activity value. NHS dental activity as measured by Courses of Treatments delivered has increased by 23% between 2021/22 and 2022/23.</p><p>From 1 April 2023, responsibility for commissioning primary care dentistry to meet the needs of the local population has been delegated to all integrated care boards (ICBs) across England. ICBs are responsible for having local processes in place to identify areas of need and determine the priorities for investment.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, published on 30 June 2023, sets out the steps the National Health Service and its partners need to take to deliver an NHS workforce that meets the changing needs of the population over the next 15 years. These include a 40% increase to dentistry undergraduate training places by 2031/32.</p><p>But we know we need to do more, and that there are some areas where access is particularly problematic. We are working on our Dentistry Recovery Plan which will address how we continue to improve access, particularly for new patients; and how we make NHS work more attractive to ensure NHS dentists are incentivised to deliver more NHS care.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 20/11/2023 16:54:14 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
