question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that their approach to tackling antimicrobial resistance across the world also works to end preventable deaths linked to unclean birth environments.
tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL2936
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2024 answer text <p>The UK's Ending Preventable Deaths campaign takes a multisectoral approach which includes tackling antimicrobial resistance, alongside strengthening health systems, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and broader determinants like nutrition, climate and water, sanitation and hygiene. Neonatal sepsis is a particular concern in the context of antimicrobial resistance and as such is where the UK will look to particularly align our work on water sanitation and hygiene, with our work on antimicrobial resistance and the health of mothers and newborns.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 15/03/2024 13:55:41 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure preventative measures such as enabling access to clean water and basic toilets, and promoting good hygiene practices are central to their work on combatting antimicrobial resistance globally.
tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL2937
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2024 answer text <p>Access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in communities and health care settings helps prevent the threat of antimicrobial resistance. The UK's &quot;WASH Systems for Health&quot; programme is working in six lower-middle-income countries to strengthen the systems that deliver sustainable WASH services. The UK-funded Hygiene and Behaviour Change Coalition supported 14,800 facilities with WASH supplies and trained 460,000 health workers on hygiene. We also focus on achieving universal WASH in health care facilities to combat antimicrobial resistance through partners the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Hand Hygiene for All Partnership.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 15/03/2024 13:54:38 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the combined impacts of microplastics and antimicrobial pollutants in driving antimicrobial resistance emergence in the environment, and what steps they are taking to mitigate these impacts.
tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL264
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2023 answer text <p>Defra, the Environment Agency and the UK Health Security Agency have a joint research programme on antimicrobial resistance in the environment. This includes examination of potential drivers of selection for antimicrobial resistance in environmental organisms. So far, this work has concentrated on the effect of antimicrobials and biocides so has not examined the additional role of microplastics, as this was not identified as likely to have a high impact and therefore be a high priority for the research. However, we continue to consider issues for further investigation as part of our ongoing research where emerging evidence suggests it is needed.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 30/11/2023 15:23:51 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made towards introducing the recording of antimicrobial resistance as a cause of death on death certificates.
tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL10490
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2023 answer text <p>Medical practitioners are expected to state the cause of death on death certificates to the best of their knowledge and belief, including where a resistant infection was a contributory factor. Consistently citing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a cause of death on the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCD) could provide better data on the scale and impact of AMR and improve public awareness of the issue.</p><p>In November 2022, as part of the National Medical Examiner’s “Good Practice Series”, the Royal College of Pathologists published a paper to help medical examiner offices align with the UK AMR National Action Plan, and support surveillance of antimicrobial resistance. The paper asks medical examiners to encourage and educate those writing MCCDs to accurately record the organism responsible for the infection, whether it was resistant to microbial therapy, and whether the infection was hospital- or community-associated, where this is known. A copy of the paper is attached.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 25/10/2023 11:17:39 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham attachment 1 file name Good-Practice-Series-Recording-antimicrobial-resistance-on-the-Medical-Certificate-of-Cause-of-DeathFinal (1).pdf title Good Practice Series
