question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they have taken to secure guarantees from Sudan’s warring parties for the safe and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance to conflict-affected populations.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Leeds
uin	HL4469
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>The UK continues to speak out publicly and vigorously to press the warring parties to facilitate unhindered, crossline and cross-border humanitarian access. On 27 February, the UK called for the UN Security Council to convene for a closed consultation in response to the SAF's decision to withdraw permission for the movement of humanitarian personnel and supplies into Sudan from Chad via the Adré crossing. On 20 March, we made a UK intervention at the Security Council highlighting the OCHA White Note's clear warning that obstruction of humanitarian access by the SAF and RSF is resulting in people in Sudan starving. On 8 March, the UK led the Security Council to adopt a resolution calling for a ceasefire for Ramadan and for urgent humanitarian access.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 23/05/2024 09:54:16 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what is their Joint Analysis of Conflict and Stability assessment of the situation in Iran; how this is affected by the reports that Russia has been sending advanced military equipment to Iran in exchange for drones; and what steps they are taking, including with international partners, to assess the risk of further serious human rights violations in Iran.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL4469
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2023 answer text <p>Iran's support for the Russian military campaign in Ukraine is deplorable and the supply of drones is in violation of UN Security Council resolution 2231. Russia is offering Iran an unprecedented level of military support, transforming their defence relationship and strengthening Iranian capability, further threatening regional and international security.  Recent executions of young people detained in connection to protests shows the Iranian authorities' callous disregard for their citizens' lives. At a Special Session of the Human Rights Council on 24 November, the UK and our partners established an investigative mechanism into the regime's human rights violations in response to protests. We continue to urge Iran to improve its human rights record at all opportunities, including working with international partners to ensure accountability.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/01/2023 14:39:14 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they consider that GPs are in breach of their terms of contract by preventing patients from raising more than one illness in an appointment.
tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
uin	HL4469
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2017 answer text <p>There has been no national policy to limit general practitioner (GP) consultations to the discussion of one health concern per consultation.</p><p> </p><p>The General Medical Services regulations require the contractor to provide services to their registered and temporary resident patients which include ‘management’ of those patients who are or believe themselves to be ill, terminally ill or suffering from chronic disease. Within the regulations, ‘management’ is defined as offering consultation and where appropriate physical examination for the purposes of identifying the need, if any, for treatment or further investigation and making available such treatment as is necessary and appropriate including the referral of the patient for other services. Such services must be provided at such times within core hours (8am – 6.30pm) as are appropriate to meet the reasonable needs of patients.</p><p> </p><p>The length and type of consultation is not defined within the regulations, but what is required is that GP practices must specify in their practice leaflets the consultations available to patients, the opening hours of the practice and the method of obtaining services throughout core hours.</p><p> </p><p>The Department does not have a central policy on what can be raised in appointments. It is for individual practices to assess the needs of their patients and how best to meet them; we would expect those practices to listen to and respond to any feedback from their patients.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy grouped question UIN HL4470 HL4471 question first answered 23/01/2017 12:17:37 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2015 answer text <p>We are committed to supporting our high streets and effective parking management is essential for businesses to survive and grow.</p><p>Local authorities should be making it easier to park by looking to reduce the cost of parking in local authority owned car parks, and working with private sector providers to ensure they are providing a competitive offer that makes people want to visit high streets and town centres. This provides the best support to local shops, local jobs and tourism by increasing footfall.</p><p>The Government has brought forward a range of measures to help motorists, including banning CCTV ‘spy cars’, introducing 10 minutes grace periods and a new guidance to challenge parking policies.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 17/12/2015 15:13:13 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL4469
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2015 answer text <p>It is not for the Government but for local National Health Service organisations to decide whether they have a sufficient complement of doctors, and they are best placed to do this based on the needs of their patients, demand for services and the best skill mix to serve their local community.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The latest monthly workforce statistics published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre show that as at October 2014 there were 6,098 accident and emergency (A&amp;E) doctors in the NHS in England, an increase of 1,236 since May 2010.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In addition to the increasing numbers of doctors working in A&amp;E units, in order to increase the pool of supply, last year Health Education England (HEE) worked with the College of Emergency Medicine to expand the emergency medicine branch of the Acute Care Common Stem programme and established a ‘run through’ pilot for speciality training. HEE developed a mechanism whereby doctors working in other clinical areas can transfer into emergency medicine with their skills recognised and progress more quickly through the early years of emergency medicine training. These actions are now having a positive impact on the system, and there is now a 98% fill rate.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 05/02/2015 13:20:58 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
