However, Border Force can confirm that no officer who was unable to remain at the Heathrow PCP has moved to a lower pay scale.</p><p>The Home Office prioritises removing or reducing workplace barriers by implementing workplace adjustments, so that impacted employees and those with long-term health conditions have the same opportunities as those without reasonable adjustments.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 01/05/2024 10:08:50 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2024 answer text <p>As set out in the accompanying note to the Budget Notice[1], the reference prices we use for the CfD budget are an output from the Department’s main power model and are characteristic of decarbonisation pathways that are net-zero consistent. Wholesale electricity prices are driven by many factors including electricity demand profiles, the plants that generate to meet this demand, as well as fuel price assumptions and carbon price assumptions. Changes in reference prices between rounds depend on the assumptions used in power modelling and the delivery years for each allocation round.</p><p> </p><p>[1] The accompanying note to the Budget Notice can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcontracts-for-difference-cfd-allocation-round-6-statutory-notices&amp;data=05%7C02%7CParliamentary.PQ%40energysecurity.gov.uk%7C9ba5023041b04ec6760908dc692d94b9%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638500891684410764%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=WunRH0cV5boaGDFHmPM1SJU%2BmksN%2FI1bxKETyzzMG1A%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/contracts-for-difference-cfd-allocation-round-6-statutory-notices</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 01/05/2024 05:23:52 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2024 answer text <p>The Department meets with the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) regularly to discuss a range of issues, including access to medicines. The NICE has formally started its appraisal of AZD-3152, also known as sipavibart and referred to as Evusheld 2, ahead of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency’s (MHRA) decision on whether it should be given a United Kingdom marketing authorisation, and expects to invite stakeholder submissions in April 2024. Timelines for both the NICE’s guidance and licensing depend on data from the SUPERNOVA trial being available. AstraZeneca intends to submit clinical data to the NICE and the MHRA at the same time, with the aim that both organisations are able to reach decisions as close together as possible. If AZD-3152 is recommended as clinically and cost effective by the NICE, the National Health Service in England will be under a statutory requirement to fund AZD-3152 for eligible patients, in line with the NICE’s recommendations.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 01/05/2024 08:57:40 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
