question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the ability of humanitarian aid to access South Sudan since the 9 November 2017 order from President Salva Kiir Mayardit on that access.
tabling member constituency	North West Norfolk
tabling member printed	Sir Henry Bellingham
uin	122732
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2018 answer text <p>We welcomed President Kiir’s November decree calling for unhindered humanitarian access. However, data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) shows that humanitarian aid continues to be obstructed by all parties to the conflict, including the Government of South Sudan. Challenges including levels of violence, physical obstructions to aid delivery and bureaucratic blockages still exist, despite the decree. OCHA reported that, in December 2017 alone, 111 incidents occurred where aid was obstructed, which indicates that the number of incidents has not reduced and that there has been no improvement in access since the decree. The annual total of humanitarian access incidents increased again in 2017 to 1,159, the highest so far.</p><p>We will continue to engage with South Sudan’s leaders at the highest level, asserting pressure together with our international partners, to make clear that they have a direct responsibility to improve access and stop the suffering of their people.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 19/01/2018 15:05:52 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

uin	111655
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2017 answer text <p>Encouraging take-up of the flu vaccination in people with chronic respiratory disease is primarily a matter for Public Health England (PHE). PHE, in partnership with NHS England, is currently running the national multi-channel campaign ‘Stay Well This Winter’, which encourages people who are most at-risk of preventable emergency admission to hospital to take actions to help them stay well, such as getting a flu vaccination and visiting a pharmacy at the first sign of a winter illness.</p><p> </p><p>Television adverts encourage people with long-term health conditions including breathlessness and lung disease to get the flu vaccine. The radio and social media advertising specifically target people with chronic lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, bronchitis and asthma. PHE also works with the British Lung Foundation and Asthma UK to help promote flu vaccine take-up to their supporters.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 17/11/2017 11:53:23 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2017 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) is responsible for monitoring public health vaccination programmes, including the influenza vaccine programme. It particularly monitors vaccine uptake, effectiveness and safety.</p><p> </p><p>Hospital admissions in persons with chronic respiratory disease are due to a wide range of causes, one of which can be flu. No study has been undertaken on the potential relationship between uptake of the flu vaccine in people with chronic respiratory disease and hospital admissions for people with chronic respiratory disease. However, PHE flu vaccine uptake monitoring has shown that the group 16-65 years of age with chronic respiratory disease had an uptake of 49.1% in 2016/17. There was an estimated flu vaccine effectiveness of 40.6% in this age-group against laboratory confirmed influenza, which would include individuals with chronic respiratory disease.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 17/11/2017 11:51:51 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
