According to the UN, Yemen remains the world\u2019s largest humanitarian crisis, with 80% of the entire population, over 24 million people, requiring some form of humanitarian assistance. More than 20 million people in Yemen do not have reliable access to food and almost 10 million people face extreme food shortages.<\/p>

We are concerned that the outbreak of COVID-19 in Yemen is already exacerbating this devastating humanitarian situation.<\/p>

DFID modelling estimates that over 100,000 Yemenis are now likely to have been infected by COVID-19. With only half of Yemen\u2019s health facilities currently functional, we are extremely concerned by the capacity of the Yemen\u2019s healthcare system to respond.<\/p>

Ultimately, a political settlement is the only way to properly address the worsening humanitarian crisis. We therefore strongly encourage all parties to engage with Special Envoy Martin Griffiths to find a peaceful solution to the conflict.<\/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" : "2020-06-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2020-06-16T16:30:42.387Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2020-06-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Yemen: Humanitarian Aid"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the humanitarian situation in Yemen.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4222", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Collins of Highbury"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Collins of Highbury"} ], "uin" : "HL4934"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1199209", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1199209/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

No specific assessment has been made.<\/p>

In co-operation with the Royal College of Physicians and the Chief Medical Officer\u2019s team, the Association of British Neurologists (ABN) published COVID-19 specific guidance for patients with neurological conditions, as well as clinicians, on 22 March 2020. The guidance identified patient groups at increased risk from COVID-19 and those for whom shielding was recommended. Early in the pandemic, the ABN recommended a reduction in face to face appointments for non-emergency care in services such as neurology, while maintaining essential care to protect patients. NHS England and NHS Improvement advised the system that in-person consultations should quickly be phased out and \u201cshould only take place when absolutely necessary\u201d.<\/p>

During the pandemic, digital and remote general practitioner consultations and outpatient appointments as means to support patients have become the norm across England. Providers have been rolling out remote consultations using video, telephone, email and text message services as a priority, including for those with neurological conditions. NHS England and NHS Improvement have also published a range of guidance for primary and community health service to identify, support and engage people, such as those with neurological conditions, during the COVID-19 outbreak, including:<\/p>

- the NHS England and NHS Improvement Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) standard operating procedure: Community Health Services<\/em>; and<\/p>

- the NHS England and NHS Improvement Guidance and standard operating procedures General practice in the context of coronavirus (COVID-19).<\/em><\/p>

COVID-19 is a new disease with many new and unexpected complications. Clinicians in the National Health Service have adapted rapidly to this evolving situation and rehabilitation programs for COVID-19 have been developed in many parts of the NHS, providing rehabilitation both in hospital and in the community.<\/p>

On 29 April, Sir Simon Stevens and Amanda Pritchard published a letter on the second phase of the NHS response to COVID-19, and recommended actions for the next phase including preparing to support the increase in patients who have recovered from COVID-19 and who having been discharged from hospital need ongoing community health support.<\/p>

The NHS also published guidance on 5 June entitled After-care needs of inpatients recovering from COVID-19<\/em>, which supports primary care and community health services to meet the immediate and longer-term care needs of patients discharged following an acute episode of COVID-19, by describing the typical expected health care needs of patients post-discharge. These include neuromuscular and neuro-psychological, amongst others.<\/p>

The Government is aware of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a range of sectors, including charities.<\/p>

To support charities in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an announcement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 8 April 2020, of a funding package of £750 million for the wider voluntary and charity sector. Of this, £370 million will support charities working with vulnerable people. In England, £200 million of this support will be provided through the National Lottery\u2019s Coronavirus Community Support Fund, to which charities can apply for funding. Applicants will be assessed on the extent to which they meet the objectives of the fund, which are to reduce temporary closures of essential charities and to reduce the burden on the public services, including the National Health Service.<\/p>

There are close to 2 million heating appliances sold in the UK each year, over 80% of which are domestic gas boilers. Gas boiler sales are likely to remain at a similar level in the immediate future. However, industry projections for heating appliance sales in 2020 are being revised due to the impact of covid-19.<\/p>

<\/p>

Emissions from individual homes depend on the size and energy efficiency of the property. As a result of minimum energy efficiency requirements for new gas boilers, introduced in 2018, the average household that switches from an average gas boiler can save 200kgCo2 per year.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is committed to reducing the emissions produced from heating our homes by increasing energy efficiency and utilising clean heating technologies to meet our net zero commitments. The immediate steps to tackle these emissions will be set out as part of the Heat and Buildings Strategy, which we aim to publish later in the year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4336", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Callanan"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Callanan"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2020-06-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2020-06-16T13:57:18.817Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2020-06-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : " Boilers: Carbon Emissions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "Her Majesty's Government how many domestic boilers they anticipate will be sold every year for the next 10 years; and what they estimate the carbon emissions for those boilers will be.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/214", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Foster of Bath"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Foster of Bath"} ], "uin" : "HL4962"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1199216", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1199216/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
