answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2018 answer text <p>Every penny of council tax that is not collected means a higher council tax or worse services in an area. However, it is important that councils are sympathetic to those in genuine hardship and are proportionate in enforcement. The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations are clear that the magistrates courts can only consider sending people to prison where the failure to pay is due to wilful refusal or culpable neglect. The Department has no plans to change those provisions.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 19/04/2018 14:48:51 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2018 answer text <p>The commissioning and provision of screening, outlined in the national service specification for breast screening, requires providers to work with local authorities and other stakeholders to develop plans to address uptake and inequalities. Breast screening services promote uptake by engaging with practices ahead of screening in their area, providing practices with up-to-date information about the programme and notifying them of the final outcomes of screening invitations for each of their patients.</p><p> </p><p>Commissioners work with providers to ensure that letters and invitations have been endorsed by general practitioners. Providers have systems in place to ensure women who do not respond are provided with an opportunity not to miss screening by sending second timed appointments, ensuring that women are invited every three years and have tailored information available for particular groups of women, for example those with learning difficulties.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2018 answer text <p>There has been no central assessment of the effect of the soft drinks industry levy on diabetics. Whilst we recognise soft drinks with high levels of added sugar may have a role to play in raising blood glucose levels for people living with type 1 diabetes, this must be balanced against the need to protect the nation’s children from other serious conditions and diseases linked to high consumption of sugar including obesity and tooth decay.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 18/04/2018 15:55:08 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
