answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2018 answer text <p>Large and small scale local food producers play an important role in supporting the rural economy and the farmed environment. The Government’s consultation, “Health and Harmony: the future for food, farming and the environment in a Green Brexit” which set out the policy framework for agriculture in England after the UK leaves the EU closed on 8 May. In this consultation we provided a clear direction for future farm support – public money for public goods. As part of this, we asked for views from those in the industry to make sure future agricultural policy reflects the reality of life for farmers and food producers. All responses received are being analysed and will be used to inform future policy.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 06/06/2018 13:38:05 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

The projection is for spending on NHS Continuing Healthcare to increase by over 20% by 2020/21, or an average of approximately 3.9% per year.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 06/06/2018 15:14:01 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

uin	148840
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>As primary healthcare providers and independent community pharmacies may be handling sensitive data about people's health, it is right that they should be subject to the same requirements as other public authorities. This includes appointing a data protection officer to inform and advise the organisation on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, such as the need to ensure that personal data is processed fairly and lawfully and held securely. A group of public authorities may appoint a single data protection officer, if that would be more appropriate to their size and organisational structure, as long as that person were easily accessible from each organisation.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 11/06/2018 13:11:16 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
