answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2024 answer text <p>While the majority of palliative and end of life care is provided by National Health Service staff and services, we also recognise the vital part that voluntary sector organisations, including hospices, play in providing support to people at the end of life, and their loved ones. Most hospices are charitable, independent organisations which receive some statutory funding for providing NHS services. The amount of funding hospices receive is dependent on many factors, including what other statutory services are available within the integrated care board footprint.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 07/03/2024 16:58:11 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2023 answer text <p>We have recently introduced legislation that enables the General Dental Council (GDC) to increase the capacity of its Overseas Registration Exam (ORE) and improve its international registration processes. It will be for the GDC, as an independent regulator, to decide how best to use the flexibility that the legislation allows to increase the capacity of the ORE assessment.</p><p>The current legal framework for the ORE will remain in place until the GDC introduces new rules on the operation of the ORE 12 months after the legislation comes into force, in March 2024. In the meantime, the GDC has announced that it has tripled the number places for Part 1 of the ORE in response to the current demand, meaning there will be 600 places available for the August 2023 sitting of the ORE Part 1, instead of the usual 200.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 23/05/2023 14:08:28 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has assessed the recommendations set out in the Seafish Review and in collaboration with shellfish stakeholders has prioritised those considered workable within the existing legal framework. Proposals which require legislative change are not considered feasible at the present time. To date, the FSA has introduced two new criteria for handling high results, updated protocols to confirm that appropriately validated alternative test methods can be used for official control purposes and communicated that local authorities can delegate official control sampling to third parties.</p><p>The FSA is also working on further revisions to its approaches, including reviewing the timeframe for resampling and reopening production areas after high results. This work is complex and takes time. It is imperative that any changes introduced ensure continued food safety and maintain the confidence of consumers and trading partners.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 20/03/2023 16:22:33 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

Adjustments are made in the core ICB allocations formula to allow for variation in the costs of providing health care between rural and urban areas.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan commits to investing an additional £2.3 billion a year in mental health services by 2023/24. This increased investment will improve access to mental health services, including in rural communities. By 2023/24, a further 345,000 children and young people will be able to access National Health Service-funded mental health support. In 2021/22, we provided an additional £79 million to allow a further 22,500 more children and young people to access community health services and accelerate the coverage of mental health support teams in schools and colleges. These teams are now available for 26% of pupils and will increase to nearly 400 teams for approximately 35% of pupils by April 2023.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 21/11/2022 15:11:14 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to extend free TB vaccinations to include all those that work with bovines.
tabling member constituency	Totnes
tabling member printed	Anthony Mangnall
uin	150266
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2022 answer text <p>Based on the current available evidence, there are no plans to extend free Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccinations to all those who work with bovines. BCG vaccination against tuberculosis (TB) is not usually recommended for people aged over 16 years old, unless the risk of exposure is high. BCG vaccination can be offered to veterinary staff and staff, such as abattoir workers, who handle animals or animal materials which could be infected with TB.</p><p>Under these current criteria in the Green Book, a very small subset of farmers may be eligible for the BCG vaccination. Their eligibility for TB vaccination should be based on an individual risk assessment. Those eligible would access the vaccine through a private occupational health provider and may seek further advice from the National Farmers Union. Non-National Health Service providers can charge for this service.</p><p>Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH), all new employees, including farmers, should undergo a pre-employment health assessment, which should include a review of immunisation needs. The COSHH risk assessment will indicate which pathogens staff are exposed to in their workplace, such as bovine TB. Staff considered to be at risk of exposure to pathogens should be offered routine pre-exposure immunisation as appropriate. This decision should also take into account the safety and efficacy of available vaccines. Staff not considered to be at risk need not routinely be offered immunisation, although post-exposure prophylaxis may occasionally be indicated.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 19/04/2022 12:14:48 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2021 answer text <p>NHS Blood and Transplant has a selection and allocation policy for each organ, ensuring a transparent process to balance reducing mortality on waiting lists and matching donor lungs with recipients to provide the best outcome for all listed patients. The algorithm is not dependent on the primary disease and patients are only placed on the transplant list after maximal therapy.</p><p>NHS Blood and Transplant’s Lung Advisory Group would regard a trial of Trikafta (Kaftrio) as an important pre-referral step and most cystic fibrosis physicians would prescribe this prior to the referral of patients for transplantation.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 09/12/2021 13:51:41 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
