Therefore figures for this age group relate only to wholly-attributable admissions, where the attributable fraction is one.</p><p>The application of the NWPHO methodology has recently been updated but is not currently available from HES.</p><br /><p>[2]Finished admission episodes</p><p>A finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.</p><br /><p>[3]Broad measure</p><p>Broad measure – derived by summing the alcohol attributable fraction associated with each admission based on the diagnosis most strongly associated with alcohol out of all diagnoses (both primary and secondary).</p><br /><p>[4]Narrow measure</p><p>Narrow measure – is constructed in a similar way but counts only the fraction associated with the diagnosis in the primary position or alcohol-related external causes recorded in secondary diagnosis fields.</p><br /><p>[5]Assessing growth through time (Admitted patient care)</p><p>HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2015 answer text <p>While Public Health England (PHE) produces United Kingdom data tables for chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis (primary, secondary and early latent), data for each of the constituent regions is held by respective devolved administrations. The data for England for these infections are presented in tables 1-4 for the most recent five complete calendar years (2010-2014).</p><br /><p>Data on new HIV diagnoses for the constituent regions of the UK are held by PHE and Tables 5-8 present data for the years 2010-2014 by constituent region, age group and year of diagnosis.</p><br /><p>The data provided relates to the number of diagnoses rather than incidence of infection, and as such an increase in the number of diagnoses could be attributable to increased testing rates rather than an increase in infections. For example, local authorities are encouraged to offer universal access to testing and treatment for chlamydia for young people age 15-24 as part of the National Chlamydia Screening Programme.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2015 answer text <p>Under the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010, there is no statutory requirement on any greyhound organisation or individual track to report any figures to Defra. The Regulations have now been in force for five years and Defra is currently undertaking a review of their effectiveness. The review is looking at the requirement on tracks to collect injury statistics and how they are then used; and the traceability of greyhounds after they have left the sport. Defra is currently consulting on the initial findings of the review as well as proposals for further action. Further proposals include agreement by the main industry regulator, the Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB), to begin publishing figures for the numbers of greyhounds injured at GBGB affiliated tracks each year, as well as the number of greyhounds that leave GBGB racing each year.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 17/12/2015 14:51:47 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

uin	20011
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2015 answer text <p>The Animal Welfare Act 2006 makes it an offence to cause an animal unnecessary suffering. Anyone found guilty of an offence under the Act can be subject to an unlimited fine and/or six months’ imprisonment.</p><br /><p>It is for the courts to decide on an appropriate penalty based on the individual circumstances of each case. To help magistrates to impose appropriate sentences and penalties they are provided with guidance in the form of the Magistrates’ Courts Sentencing Guidelines issued by the Sentencing Council. The guidelines give examples of offences, aggravating and mitigating factors, as well as the range of suggested sentences and penalties for various types of offences. The sentences currently imposed for such offences are not regularly set towards the upper end of the range. This suggests that courts are not finding their current sentencing powers inadequate.</p><br /><p>Nevertheless, Defra understands the concern that existing levels of punishment may be insufficient in some cases. Overall policy on sentencing is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and Defra Ministers have made sure that the MoJ is aware of these concerns.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 17/12/2015 11:39:03 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
