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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2024 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of the integrated care boards (ICBs) to make available the appropriate provision to meet the health and care needs of their local population, including access to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessments, in line with relevant National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. The NICE guidelines for ADHD diagnosis and management aim to improve the diagnosis of ADHD and the quality of care and support people receive. The NICE guidelines do not recommend a maximum waiting time standard for ADHD diagnosis, either from referral for an assessment to receiving an assessment, a diagnosis, or a first contact appointment.</p><p>There is, at present, no single, established dataset that can be used to monitor waiting times for assessment for ADHD. A specific assessment of the implications for departmental policies of the number of people on a waiting list, or the number of assessments provided each month for adult ADHD services in Leeds, is not currently planned.</p><p>The Department is exploring options to improve data collection and reporting on ADHD assessment waiting times nationally, to help improve access to ADHD assessments in a timely way, and in line with the NICE guideline. In support of this, the National Institute for Health and Care Research’s Policy Research Programme has commissioned a research project to provide insights into local ADHD diagnosis waiting times data collection.</p><p>In December 2023, NHS England initiated a rapid piece of work to consider ADHD service provision within the National Health Service. The initial phase of work identified challenges, including with current service models and the ability to keep pace with demand. Following this initial review, NHS England is establishing a new ADHD taskforce alongside the Government, to improve care for people living with the condition. The new taskforce will bring together expertise from across a broad range of sectors, including the NHS, education, and justice, to better understand the challenges affecting people with ADHD and help provide a joined-up approach in response to concerns around rising demand for assessments and support.</p><p>Alongside the work of the taskforce, NHS England has announced that it will continue to work with stakeholders to develop a national ADHD data improvement plan, carry out more detailed work to understand the provider and commissioning landscape, and capture examples from local health systems who are trialling innovative ways of delivering ADHD services, to ensure best practice is captured and shared across the system.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield grouped question UIN 23923 question first answered 02/05/2024 14:29:11 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

The recent passing of the Safety of Rwanda Act is an important step forward in the UK's innovative efforts to tackle illegal migration. As such, the policy has received widespread international attention. A number of other countries are also exploring similar models of relocating migrants to safe third countries to process their asylum claims. As the UK courts have confirmed, this approach is compliant with the UK's obligations under international law.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 07/05/2024 16:45:11 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
