answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2023 answer text <p>There are currently no plans to undertake such an assessment. If a resident of a care home, or one of their family members, is concerned about a proposed clinical decision, there are safeguards already in place to help them access a second opinion. Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) set out that health and care services should ‘ensure that the patient knows that they can ask for a second opinion from a different healthcare professional and, if necessary, how they would go about this’.</p><p>Healthcare professionals, including those working in care homes, are expected to take guidance from NICE fully into account when providing care and treatment for individual patients.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 14/09/2023 13:34:14 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately previous answer version 94059 answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2023 answer text <p>(a) At present there are many tools to support on-farm carbon calculations and audits available for use by farmers and farm advisers. Defra is in the process of completing an assessment of the variability and comparability of the most popular on-farm carbon audit tools, which differ widely in their complexity and underlying methodology. There are trade-offs between the accuracy and specificity of tools, and the complexity of data required to underpin the calculations. Defra is considering options to improve standardisation.</p><p> </p><p>(b)There is a mature evidence base on the cycling and sequestration of carbon within and through the farmed and semi-natural landscape. On-farm emissions are monitored and assessed through the UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory, and Defra is seeking to understand broader supply chain emissions through additional research. Other research has assessed methods to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in farming and carbon stores; all of which undergoes independent scrutiny through peer review.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 14/09/2023 11:29:51 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2023 answer text <p>Emissions from beef production are highly variable both between countries and within countries, reflecting a wide range of production systems. Defra has assessed the best available data, which suggest that emissions from UK beef production range between 16-34 kg CO<sub>2</sub>-eq per kg meat. These data also suggest that UK beef emissions are roughly equivalent to the rest of the EU, USA, and Australia, but notably less than Brazil or Indonesia. The UK is currently the fourth most efficient of 11 EU producers. Defra is keeping the evidence base on product carbon footprints under review and updating where required.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 14/09/2023 11:25:01 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
