answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2018 answer text <p>According to the Health Survey for England, in 2015 22% of children (23% of boys and 20% of girls) aged 5-15 met the physical activity guidelines of being at least moderately active for at least 60 minutes every day. This is higher than in 2012, when 21% of boys and 16% of girls met the guidelines. However this excludes school-based activities and active travel. Further information can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-physical-activity-guidelines" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-physical-activity-guidelines</a>.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the government’s Sporting Future strategy, Sport England’s remit was extended to cover children from age 5+. Government departments including DCMS, DfE and DHSC have worked with Sport England to develop the new Active Lives: Children and Young People survey. This survey launched in schools in September 2017 and will measure in much more detail how children and young people engage in sport and physical activity, and how many are meeting the Chief Medical Officer's guidelines, both in and out of school. The first set of data will be available on 6 December.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 30/11/2018 12:29:00 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The current new-born screening programme in the United Kingdom screens for nine rare but serious conditions including phenylketonuria (PKU). To recognise rare conditions such as PKU, doctors and other healthcare professionals are expected to ensure their clinical knowledge remains up-to-date and to identify their ongoing learning needs as part of their continuing professional development. This activity should include taking account of new research and developments in guidance in relevant specialty areas, such as those produced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence or the Royal Colleges, to ensure that they can continue to provide high quality care to all patients.</p><p> </p><p>Steps to increase the awareness of rare diseases such as PKU are being taken through the implementation of the UK Strategy for Rare Diseases. The Strategy includes commitments to improving the lives of all patients affected by rare diseases including in areas of identification/ prevention and diagnosis and early intervention. The Government is committed to implementing the Strategy’s commitments and in January 2018, the Department and NHS England published Implementation Plans setting out their actions for England.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 28/11/2018 17:39:49 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
