tabling member printed	Lord Weir of Ballyholme
uin	HL451
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2023 answer text <p>The Department invests over £1 billion per year in health research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). NIHR funds and supports health, public health and social care research that leads to improved outcomes for patients and the public and makes the health and social care system more efficient, effective, and safe. Research evidence is vital for improving treatments and outcomes for people.</p><p>The Department does not directly commission research, rather we invite funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including cystic fibrosis. As with other government funders of health research, NIHR does not allocate funding for specific disease areas. The level of research spend in a particular area is driven by several factors, including scientific potential and the number and scale of successful funding applications.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 27/11/2023 14:46:56 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

tabling member printed	Lord Mendelsohn
uin	HL451
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government Equalities Office (GEO) continues to address the important issue of body image as part of its work to support young people’s media literacy, resilience, healthy relationships and healthy self-image. In 2015, the GEO funded the PSHE Association to develop key standards on teaching about body image in schools, and this resource has been used and valued by many teachers. It has been updated and is still available on the PSHE Association website.</p><p>The GEO also funded Media Smart, the advertising industry’s educational charity, to develop film-based resources for pupils in Key Stage 2 on the issue of body image in advertising. This resource was launched in 2016 and continues to be used and valued within schools.</p><p>The GEO has also addressed concerns about the very low weight of some fashion models. The previous Minister for Women and Equalities, Caroline Dinenage, hosted a roundtable for fashion models to hear their experience and concerns, and met with the British Fashion Council (BFC) to discuss what could be done to support models’ health and wellbeing. As a consequence, the BFC developed improved advice for models and agencies which is available on its website. The BFC also runs The Model Zone as a part of London Fashion Week, to support models’ wellbeing.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 18/07/2017 14:26:17 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what information they have received about the present situation of the Tartar population of the Crimea, and in particular, how many of them have been arrested or sentenced, how many exiles have been banned from returning, and whether their mosques have been damaged or destroyed.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL451
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2016 answer text <p>In March I met Refat Chubarov, the Crimean Tatar leader, to discuss the continuing deterioration of human rights on the peninsula since Russia’s illegal annexation, and how this is impacting the Crimean Tatar community. The Crimea Tatars continue to face regular harassment including arrests, detentions, disappearances and restrictions on their rights of worship, assembly and expression. Many also face pressure to take up Russian Citizenship to re-enter Crimea.</p><p>International human rights organisations such as the UN and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) are currently barred from entering Crimea. The UK continues to call on Russia to use their influence with the ‘de-facto’ Crimean authorities to grant access to international organisations. Nevertheless, we are aware of reports that 18 Crimean Tatars are currently held in Russian-run prisons, while several more are under arrest. We are also aware of seven Crimean Tatars who are banned from entering Crimea. We are not aware of reports of mosques being destroyed, however there are reports that mosques and homes have been raided and those inside questioned by Russian security services. The recent banning of the Mejlis, the highest representative body for the Crimean Tatar community, by the Russian de-facto authorities is another example of the continuing erosion of civil liberties and human rights in Crimea.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 14/06/2016 13:19:34 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
