answer text <p>As people live longer than ever before, sometimes with complex care needs, we need to ensure the social care system is sustainable in the longer term. The Government has committed to publishing a Green Paper setting out its proposals for reform and will bring forward ideas for including an element of risk pooling in the system, which will help to protect people from the highest costs. As part of this, the Department will be considering a wide range of available options.</p><p>This Government is committed to ensuring that everyone has access to the care and support they need, but we are clear that there should continue to be a principle of shared responsibility, and that people should continue to expect to contribute to their care as part of preparing for later life.</p><p>The Green Paper remains a priority for this Government and we will be publishing it at the earliest opportunity.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Oral corticosteroids have been used for many years in the treatment of a wide range of illnesses including allergic and inflammatory diseases, immune reactions and certain cancers, and for replacement therapy where the body does not produce enough cortisol.</p><p>Corticosteroids are life-saving medicines but have a wide range of side effects, including psychiatric side effects. These can include serious effects such as suicidal thoughts, psychotic reactions and behavioural disturbances. Symptoms typically emerge within a few days or weeks of starting the treatment. Patients and/or their carers should be warned by the prescribing physician that potentially severe psychiatric adverse reactions may occur with oral corticosteroids and encouraged to seek medical advice if any worrying psychological symptoms develop.</p><p>Other side effects of corticosteroids, particularly when taken long-term, include increased susceptibility to infection, disturbances of the nervous system, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, suppression of the adrenal glands, stomach ulcers and changes to the eye (glaucoma and cataract).</p><p>A detailed list of the side effects known to occur with corticosteroids is available in the product information for prescribers (the Summary of Product Characteristics and Patient Information Leaflet which are produced by the manufacturer and authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for each product. Key side effects are also detailed in the British National Formulary. As with all medicines, the safety of corticosteroids is kept under review by the MHRA and product information is updated and warnings issued when necessary.</p>

answer text <p>The Government is committed to reducing waiting times for people of all age groups who suffer with an eating disorder. Within the NHS Long Term Plan ambitions, the Clinical Review of NHS Access Standards aims to “test four-week waiting times for adult and older adult community mental health teams, with selected local areas”. This will form part of wider testing of the new and integrated models of primary and community mental health care.</p><p>The recently-published ‘Guidance for operational and activity plans: assurance statements’, to accompany the NHS Planning Guidance for 2019/20, makes clear that these new models will include services for adults with eating disorders.</p><p>In 2019-20, NHS England will begin funding a number of pilot sites for these new models across the country, including services for adults with eating disorders. Selected sites will work towards maximising access and minimising waits to improve patient care. Sites will be selected within regions over the coming months and will be given pump prime funding.</p><p>In parallel to this, NHS England is rolling out the New Care Models in Mental Health programme, delegating specialised commissioning budgets for adult eating disorder inpatient services to provider collaboratives. These collaboratives will have the power to transform pathways of care and maximise access to dedicated community-based provision to avoid need for admissions as far as possible, building on the success of pilot sites where this work is already underway.</p>

answer text <p>The Government has published a <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/clean-air-strategy-2019" target="_blank">Clean Air Strategy</a> that sets out actions to meet our statutory obligations to reduce emissions of the main pollutants by 2020 and 2030. In the Strategy we committed to working with health professionals to develop a better understanding and awareness of health impacts, including the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). We have also published updated <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/air-pollution-a-tool-to-estimate-healthcare-costs" target="_blank">appraisal tools</a> and accompanying guidance to enable the health impacts of air pollution to be considered in every relevant policy decision that is made.</p><p> </p><p>HSE is the regulator for work related health and safety in Great Britain; it does not regulate environmental exposures. HSE has no plans to treat ambient air pollution as an occupational health issue. Exposures to substances that are hazardous to health caused by a work activity, including airborne contaminants, are already covered by a robust regulatory framework that includes the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health 2002.</p><p> </p><p>A recent amendment to the EU Carcinogens and Mutagens Directive has introduced a binding occupational exposure limit value for diesel engine exhaust emissions (DEEEs). Member States have until 21 February 2023 to implement the limit, unless the activity is underground mining or tunnel construction in which case the date for implementation is 21 February 2026. In the UK, binding and other occupational exposure limit values are implemented as Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs). WELs already exist for some substances which are also components of DEEEs such as nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide.</p>
