NHS England and NHS Improvement are implementing a number of national programmes to transform National Health Service services so that, where clinically appropriate, a patient\u2019s care is managed without the need for a stay in hospital. This is being achieved through services becoming better integrated across health and social care as well as managing hospital care differently so that more patients are treated as same day emergency care or streamed to see a primary care professional.<\/p>

Readmission rates are a complex issue and rates may not always be an indicator of poor care. In some cases patients who are seriously ill may require readmission to manage their condition and avoid worsening outcomes. Recent research has shown that improvements in survival rates may also account for an increase in emergency readmissions.<\/p>

The steel industry has changed significantly in recent times. From the peak reached in 2011 to the start of 2016, the price of steel more than halved, driven by excess production capacity at a global level.<\/p>

<\/p>

Conditions have improved slightly in 2017 and there are signs of recovery in several markets. The World Steel Association forecasts 1.6% growth in global steel demand in 2018 and modest growth in the years to come as the market adjusts to new technologies and demographic changes.<\/p>

<\/p>

The most recent OECD estimate puts global steel capacity at 2,357 million tonnes, 657 million tonnes in excess of production in 2017. Changes in global capacity are slowly starting to take effect, as OECD data suggests a fall of 0.6% from 2016 to 2017, and an increase in capacity utilisation from 69% to 72% in the same period.<\/p>

<\/p>

The underlying causes of excess capacity remain, however. The UK is committed to finding a solution to this problem. We have worked though the G20 to agree policy principles to tackle the unfair state support that has led to excess capacity. We now need to see all member countries act swiftly on those proposals.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2616", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Henley"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Henley"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-14T12:24:12.67Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-03-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Iron and Steel: Trade"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the viability of the global steel market.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4304", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Allen of Kensington"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Allen of Kensington"} ], "uin" : "HL6085"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/856295", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/856295/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We consistently underline to the Federal Government in Baghdad and the Kurdish Regional Government in Erbil the importance of upholding and protecting the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all minority communities, including Christians. When the Prime Minister visited Iraq on 29 November she made clear that as Iraq rebuilds, and its peoples reconcile, all Iraqis\u2019 human rights and fundamental freedoms must be respected, protected and promoted. She also emphasised to Prime Minister Abadi that families must be able to return home and rebuild their lives \u2013 when it is safe to do so - supported by the prospect of genuine reconciliation. I reinforced these messages during my visit to Iraq and the Kurdistan Region on 2-4 March and called on Iraqi parliamentarians to publically condemn acts of violence against minorities.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-20T17:34:56.373Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-03-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Iraq: Islamic State"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of Iraq concerning the restitution and restoration of churches desecrated by ISIS in Mosul; and what measures are being taken to protect returning minorities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL6086"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/856296", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/856296/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
