The UK is working with UNRWA and other donors to improve UNRWA's financial viability.

uin	HL4007
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2016 answer text <p>When a company incorporates with Companies House, information is required about the company’s type, its name and registered office, its directors and shareholders, its share structure and, under measures that came into force in June this year, its beneficial owners – the people with significant influence and control over it. Copies of the company’s governing documents are also required.</p><p>A number of checks are undertaken to ensure this information is complete, formatted correctly and that it meets the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. If these requirements are not met, the application will be rejected and the company will not be incorporated.</p><p>Incorporation allows the company to take actions such as opening a bank account in its own name. But when it first seeks to do this, the company and the relevant officers of the company will be subject to due diligence processes by the bank or other relevant obliged entities with which it is entering into a business relationship. UK companies are subject to customer due diligence many times throughout their lifetime.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 19/12/2016 14:57:04 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what percentage of NHS secondary care centres do not provide tumour genetic testing in (1) breast cancer, (2) colorectal cancer, (3) lung cancer, and (4) melanoma.
tabling member printed	Lord Freyberg
uin	HL4007
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2015 answer text <p>All NHS England commissioned secondary and tertiary hospitals will be able to collect blood and/or tissue samples for the purpose of genetic testing, depending on the sampling technique required. The testing itself is however usually undertaken by commissioned genetic laboratories, which will typically serve a catchment area much greater than the hospital in which they are based. There will usually be recommended criteria in place to guide National Health Service referrals for genetic testing.</p><br /><p>In a small number of cases, usually for very rare conditions, a test may need to be sent away to a non commissioned laboratory, including some abroad and some falling within the private sector, to access expertise. Funding will, however, continue to be provided from NHS budgets.</p><br /><p>The United Kingdom is also leading the world by using cutting edge technology in the form of whole genome sequencing to transform healthcare and health research. The Prime Minister launched the 100,000 Genomes Project to bring the benefits of genome sequencing to NHS patients. The Project will sequence 100,000 whole human genomes of NHS patients with cancer or a rare disease by the end of 2017. Eleven Genomic Medicine Centres have been established across the country and are recruiting patients to this landmark project. Otherwise, NHS England does not hold data on private or self-funded care or testing commissioned from either NHS or third party laboratories.</p><br /><p>Information on the percentage of eligible patients who received access to genetic testing is not held by NHS England. Due to data protection requirements, detailed data on the reasons for referral for specific tests are not currently aggregated at national level.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton grouped question UIN HL4004 HL4005 HL4006 HL4008 question first answered 03/12/2015 14:27:14 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton
