The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is a self-financing, independent regulator that is accountable to Parliament through the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA) who assesses the HCPC\u2019s performance, conducts audits, scrutinises their decisions and reports to Parliament.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
It is for the council of the HCPC to set their fees at a level which ensures they can fulfil their statutory role of protecting, promoting and maintaining the health and safety of the public.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department understands that the HCPC publicly consulted on raising their registrant fee and as part of that process explained the raise was for a number of reasons: to fund the periodic fee it is required to pay the PSA; to enable the HCPC to operate more flexibly and efficiently; and to ensure the HCPC\u2019s financial viability in the medium to long term.<\/p>

I cannot provide an exact start date for construction. However, as stated in Highways England Delivery Plan 2015-2020, construction of the A1(M) Junction 6-8 smart motorway scheme in Hertfordshire is planned to start construction in late in the 2019/20, and complete approximately 12 months later.<\/p>
<\/p>
The next step is the detailed design and planning of the scheme, plus consultation with the local community to produce the best possible scheme. That work will be taken forward by Highways England and is expected to start shortly.<\/p>

A number of immunotherapy drugs are licensed for the treatment of different cancers and are available for use on the National Health Service, subject to funding decisions by the relevant commissioner. Pembrolizumab and nivolumab are two new immunotherapies that are able to treat a number of cancers. The first cancer where these medicines have shown significant increase in patient survival is advanced stage of melanoma. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has issued early access scientific opinions for both products for treatment of advanced stage melanoma. The Early Access to Medicines scientific opinion for pembrolizumab (Merck Sharp & Dohme) was issued in March 2015 and that for nivolumab (Bristol Myers Squibb) in May 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Applications for marketing authorisations for both products have already received positive opinions from the European Medicines Agency and marketing authorisations are anticipated to be issued by the European Commission soon.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Through its technology appraisal programme, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has been able to recommend a number of immunotherapy treatments including, ipilimumab and obinutuzumab. NICE is currently developing technology appraisal guidance on other immunotherapy treatments including nivolumab and pembrolizumab. Wherever possible, NICE aims to publish draft or final guidance on drugs referred to it within a few months of the drug receiving a license. NHS commissioners are legally required to fund drugs and treatments recommended in NICE technology appraisal guidance.<\/p>

Seal conservation is a devolved issue so I can only respond with respect to England. Approximately 85% of the UK seal population is in Scotland and the Scottish Government has its own legislation concerning the protection of seals.<\/p>
Seals in England are primarily protected by the Conservation of Seals Act 1970. Under this Act, it is an offence to take or kill common and grey seals out of season or to use certain methods to kill or take, unless permitted to do so by a licence issued under the Act.<\/p>
No licences have been issued for the culling of seals in England in the last five years.<\/p>
The Government has made no assessment of the number of seals killed off the English coast.<\/p>
There is no evidence to suggest that the limited local control of seals permitted in England is having an adverse effect on the conservation status of the UK seal population as a whole.<\/p>
