question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the debt levels of Four Seasons Health Care; whether they have any plans to intervene to protect the interests of patients; and whether they are able to require the company's private equity owner to invest new equity.
tabling member printed	Lord Myners
uin	HL3810
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2016 answer text <p>Adult social care is largely delivered through an independent sector of care provider organisations that operate in a competitive market. As with any market, some providers enter and exit, which is an important mechanism for driving up quality and effectiveness. Market exits are regular occurrences and are handled effectively by local government.</p><p> </p><p>It is of course vital that vulnerable people with care needs do not have their services interrupted if their care provider failed financially and services stop. The Care Act 2014 introduced new duties on local authorities and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to protect and reassure people with care needs, their families and friends. The Act places a duty on all local authorities in England to temporarily step in and make sure all people in their area continue to have their needs met, regardless of who pays for their care. Recognising that local authorities might struggle if a significant provider were to fail, the CQC has a new function to oversee and monitor the financial sustainability of the largest and most difficult to replace providers. The oversight function provides an early warning to relevant local authorities in the event that one of these providers is likely to fail and their services cease.</p><p> </p><p>Four Seasons Health Care is one of the providers that because of their size, is part of the CQC’s Market Oversight Scheme. CQC continues to monitor the finances of all of the providers in the scheme. Government has no powers to require a private company that is acting lawfully to change its financial approach.</p><p> </p><p>The Care Act 2014 also places new duties on local authorities to promote their local market to ensure all service users have a choice of high quality services available.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 15/12/2016 12:52:11 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the focus in the current dietary advice by NHS Choices to people with diabetes or who are pre-diabetic on the possible benefits of a diet combining protein with low glycemic load carbohydrates.
tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
uin	HL3810
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2015 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) advocates a healthy balanced diet for all based on the eatwell plate; the national healthy eating guide. The eatwell plate shows for a healthy balanced diet people should try to eat plenty of starchy foods, fruit and vegetables, some milk, dairy, meat, fish and other non-dairy sources of protein and only small amounts of food and drinks high in fat and/or sugar.</p><br /><p>The Government takes a whole population approach to healthy eating, and therefore does not provide specific dietary advice to individuals with medical needs. It is recommended for anyone with a medical condition who is in search of dietary advice to consult their local general practitioner or a dietician.</p><br /><p>In July 2015, the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) published its report on Carbohydrates and Health, a review of the latest evidence on dietary carbohydrates and health. SACN recommended reducing sugar consumption, increasing fibre consumption and minimising consumption of sugars-sweetened drinks. A copy of Carbohydrates and Health is attached.</p><br /><p>Following publication, advice on what constitutes a healthy balanced diet, for the general population, which includes those with diabetes, was updated to reflect SACN’s recommendations. As part of this, PHE is undertaking a review of the eatwell plate; the refreshed resource will be launched in early 2016.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton grouped question UIN HL3809 question first answered 07/12/2015 14:41:46 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton attachment 1 file name SACN_Carbohydrates_and_Health_July_2015.pdf title Carbohydrates and Health
