uin	HL1172
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2016 answer text <p>The Department has not made, and is not planning to make, an estimate of the cost to the health service of poverty related ill health. However, in 2008 the Department commissioned Professor Michael Marmot of University College London to chair an independent strategic review of health inequalities in England from 2010. The Review, <em>Fair Society, Healthy Lives</em>, estimated that, in 2010, direct NHS healthcare costs in England associated with treating the consequences of inequality amounted to £5.5 billion per year for treating acute illness, mental illness and prescriptions. This estimate does not cover all health service activity, including primary care costs.</p><p> </p><p>The review also estimated the wider costs of health inequalities, with £31-33 billion worth of productivity losses resulting from inequalities in illness, and between £20-32 billion in lost taxes and higher welfare payments. A copy of the review has been placed in the Library.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 26/07/2016 13:12:46 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2016 answer text <p>While the UK is still a member of the EU, all rights and obligations will apply. There will be no initial change in the way we trade with developing countries. The new Department for International Trade will work with the Department for International Development on the structure and access to the UK’s markets to be offered to developing countries. This will reflect the UK’s longstanding support for Least Developed Countries and other developing country trading partners including through preferential trade agreements. This recognises that trade can be an effective way of growing economies and reducing poverty internationally.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Price question first answered 25/07/2016 14:11:15 answering member 4570 label Biography information for Lord Price
