answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2023 answer text <p>The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities is pushing forward an ambitious prevention agenda, encompassing targeted actions to tackle the most common preventable diseases, improving access and uptake of prevention services, and embedding prevention across health and care. For example, encouraging people in mid-life to stop smoking, reduce their alcohol consumption and improve their diet to help reduce the risk of developing dementia, disability and frailty in later life.</p><p>The NHS Health Check detects people at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Compared to people who have not attended an NHS Health Check, attendees have significantly lower likelihood of hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. This reduces individuals’ risk of ill health later in life.</p><p>Finally, the Government recently announced that it will publish a Major Conditions Strategy which will set out a strong and coherent policy agenda that sets out a shift to integrated, whole-person care. The Strategy will tackle conditions that contribute most to morbidity and mortality across the population in England including cancers, cardiovascular disease, including stroke and diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, dementia, mental ill health and musculoskeletal conditions. An interim report will be published in the summer.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 15/03/2023 13:46:41 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2023 answer text <p>Professional Regulators have a statutory duty to ensure patient safety and public protection and one way in which they achieve this is by publishing relevant information relating to a professional’s fitness to practise. A healthcare professional’s fitness to practise record is tied to their unique registration record held by the relevant regulatory body, which will remain associated with the individual throughout their career. This is regardless of whether a professional changes their name and or gender. As independent bodies, the policies relating to publication of such information is a matter for each professional regulator, within the scope of their governing legislation and in line with existing data legislation and other law.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 15/03/2023 13:21:09 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
