	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>British Embassy officials have been monitoring the Kobane trials in person and, whenever possible, will continue to do so, alongside other like-mind missions. We follow events in Turkey carefully, particularly government moves to close down the People's Democratic Party (HDP), the lifting of immunity for its MPs, and the replacement of opposition mayors by state-appointed officials. While these decisions are for the Turkish Government, we expect Turkey to undertake legal processes fairly, transparently and with full respect for the rule of law.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/03/2023 16:53:05 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

This is reflected in the new National Partnership Agreement on Health and Social Care in England which was published on 23 February 2023. For the first time, the National Partnership Agreement has been expanded to include offenders in the community, delivering on our commitment to improve continuity of care and champion a system wide approach. The new agreement sets out a shared priority workplan to deliver safe, decent and effective care that improves physical and mental health outcomes for people in prison and those subject to statutory supervision by the probation service in the community. The Ministry of Justice, His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and the UKHSA have committed to working together and sharing accountability for delivery through our linked governance structures.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy grouped question UIN HL6042 question first answered 15/03/2023 12:04:19 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy
