question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress they have made in implementing the top 10 recommendations in the Eighth Report from the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths in the United Kingdom, with particular reference to the number of deaths from pre-eclampsia and the general standard of care.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL1387
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <p>Reports by the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths are valuable resources for supporting maternity services and professionals to improve outcomes for women and babies. The Department does not routinely monitor implementation of the recommendations, which largely focus on improving clinical practice and are for local commissioners, providers and health professionals to consider.</p><p> </p><p>Nationally, the eighth report of the Confidential Enquiries supported the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) clinical guideline on hypertension in pregnancy and identified the need for guidance on the management of sepsis in pregnancy. Following publication of the report, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists published national guidelines to assist health professionals on the recognition and management of Bacterial Sepsis in Pregnancy. We expect maternity healthcare providers, commissioners and health professionals to give due regard to NICE guidance and professional guidelines when ensuring the delivery of safe, evidence based care to achieve the best outcomes for women and babies.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 30/07/2014 10:52:29 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of Hamas’ offer of a 10-year truce.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL1338
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/08/2014 answer text The Government has not made any assessment of this offer. The UK's policy on Hamas is clear: Hamas must renounce violence, recognise Israel and accept previously signed agreements. We continue to press for an urgent agreement on a ceasefire and for all sides to minimise civilian casualties. We would like to see a durable end to the current cycle of violence and a long term strategy to address the underlying causes of the conflict and transform the situation in Gaza. answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 04/08/2014 11:18:04 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the capability of hospitals in Gaza to cope with the numbers of injured.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL1339
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/08/2014 answer text <p>Longstanding movement and access restrictions have caused a deterioration in the quality of medical care available in Gaza. And some hospitals in Gaza have also been damaged in the current military operation. The UN has expressed concern that the Palestinian Ministry of Health is struggling to cope with the increased burden of medical emergencies on the health system, given the high levels of shortages of medicines, medical disposables and hospital fuel supplies, and rising health care debt. Some patients have been referred to hospitals outside Gaza for specialised and life-saving medical treatments. The ongoing violence in Gaza has impeded others from reaching crossing points.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 04/08/2014 11:19:16 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the alleged delivery of medical equipment and drugs to hospitals in Gaza by the Israel<i></i>Defence Forces; and whether the European Union will provide emergency medical staff to assist with the casualties in Gaza.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL1340
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/08/2014 answer text We are aware that the Israeli authorities are facilitating medical access and evacuations through the Erez crossing. The EU is supporting specialised and life-saving medical treatments and emergency healthcare in Gaza. The UK funds the UN Access Coordination Unit to work with Israel, the Palestinian Authorities, the World Health Organisation and aid agencies to facilitate the transfer of medical equipment and supplies in to Gaza. We are also bringing forward £3 million in funding to the International Committee of the Red Cross, much of which will provide emergency health care. answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 04/08/2014 11:20:14 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they intend to have with the government of Israel concerning the recent destruction of fishing boats and fishing nets; and what plans there are to restore the fishing industry in Gaza.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL1341
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <p>The UK has no plans for immediate discussions with the Government of Israel regarding the recent destruction of fishing boats and nets. However, the UK is concerned by the issue of restoring the fishing industry in Gaza, and by the devastating economic and humanitarian impact of restrictions on Gaza, including on the fishing industry. Over the past 10 years, Israel has gradually expanded restriction on access to fishing areas in the Access Restricted Areas (ARAs) in the Gaza strip. We regularly raise the urgent need to ease all access and movement restrictions on Gaza with the Government of Israel. This includes fishing limits, which would help to restore the fishing industry.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 30/07/2014 11:36:48 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
