	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2017 answer text <p>As with all vaccines and medicines, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) closely monitors the safety of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. The MHRA takes advice from the Government's independent expert advisory body, the Commission on Human Medicines (CHM), when evaluating the risks and benefits of medicines and vaccines.</p><p> </p><p>A total of 8,835 suspected adverse reaction reports (ADRs) with HPV vaccines have been reported to the MHRA via the Yellow Card Scheme up to 17 April 2017. This follows administration of at least eight million doses of the vaccine since the immunisation programme began in 2008.</p><p> </p><p>It is important to note that a Yellow Card report is not proof of a side effect occurring, but a suspicion by the reporter that the vaccine may have been the cause. Whilst Yellow Card reports may represent side effects, they may also relate to coincidental events unrelated to vaccination. The CHM has thoroughly reviewed the data reported in association with HPV vaccines in the United Kingdom and has no concerns about the number or nature of Yellow Card reports received. The CHM considered that the vast majority of suspected side effects reports appeared to be similar in frequency and type to those that had been reported with other vaccines routinely given to adolescents and adults and concluded that the evidence does not support a link between HPV vaccination and chronic illnesses.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The possible known side effects, and the frequency, are listed in the product information which is provided with the vaccines. The vast majority of the 8,835 ADRs relate to the known risks of vaccination that are well-described in the available product information. The expected benefits in protecting against HPV-related mortality and disease outweigh the known side effects of HPV vaccine.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Vaccine Brand</p></td><td><p>Total number of reports</p></td><td><p>Number of serious reports (% of total)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cervarix</p></td><td><p>6,312</p></td><td><p>1,812 (29%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Gardasil</p></td><td><p>1,858</p></td><td><p>767 (41%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Gardasil 9</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>6 (60%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HPV Brand unspecified</p></td><td><p>658</p></td><td><p>456 (69%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total for Human Papilloma virus vaccines</p></td><td><p>8,835*</p></td><td><p>3,038 (34%)</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Source: MHRA sentinel database for adverse reactions.</p><p>Note that the total number of reports received will not be equal to the totals in the table above as some reports of suspected adverse reactions may have included more than one vaccine.</p> answering member constituency Oxford West and Abingdon answering member printed Nicola Blackwood question first answered 24/04/2017 17:18:32 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2017 answer text <p>As with right to work checks, the Right to Rent scheme is predicated on checks being carried out by third parties (in this case landlords and lettings agents). This means that the majority of illegal migrant prospective tenants will be denied access to the private rented sector as a result of these checks with no intervention by enforcement officers or reference to the Home Office. The sanctions set out in the Immigration Acts 2014 and 2016 in relation to the Right to Rent scheme are there to address circumstances where the scheme is not adhered to by landlords and agents.</p><p>The Home Office will always investigate information it receives about illegal migrants and take appropriate enforcement action according to the information available and the circumstances of the case. It is not always possible to attribute a return or other enforcement activity to the application of a sanction earlier in the case or to the route through which a particular individual was brought to the attention of the Home Office.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 31/01/2017 12:56:50 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>Asylum accommodation is subject to a rigorous inspection regime to ensure that it meets the requirements of the contract and the needs of service users. Providers are required to inspect each property when a service user moves in and out of a property, then again every month. The Home Office also inspects a significant proportion of accommodation each year and prioritises its inspections on an intelligence led basis to target accommodation where there have been issues.</p><p>The Home Office conducts some of its inspection jointly with the accommodation provider to ensure better access to the properties, agree what the defects are and allowing rectification work to start immediately. The Statement of Requirements for the Contracts, which is in the public domain, sets out the standards that are expected of asylum accommodation, including examples of defects and clear timelines on the timescales within which any defects must be remedied.</p><p>Home Office inspections have found that accommodation generally meets the required standards and where defects are identified they are resolved within the timescales set out in the contract. Where Providers have failed to meet these contractual service standards sanctions have been imposed.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 06/03/2018 19:47:10 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
