The Critical Minerals Strategy committed to collate UK geoscientific data and identify areas of geological potential for critical mineral extraction. The Department for Business and Trade commissioned the British Geological Survey to undertake the study, \u201cPotential for Critical Raw Material Prospectivity in the UK<\/em>\u201d, delivered by the Critical Minerals Intelligence Centre (CMIC) and was published in 2023. It is a preliminary assessment of geological factors only, and its findings do not mean prospective areas identified will necessarily be targeted for exploration and mining. Mineral planning policy is also a devolved matter.<\/p>

Areas of potential geological prospectivity for critical minerals were identified in both Scotland and Wales. Regarding the geological prospectivity for lithium, the report identified two areas in Scotland and no areas in Wales.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4949", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Johnson of Lainston"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Johnson of Lainston"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-03-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-03-26T17:24:36.06Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "214"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business and Trade"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business and Trade"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-03-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Lithium"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the deposits of lithium in Wales and Scotland; and whether they will ensure that all such is conveyed to the respective devolved authorities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/547", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Wigley"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Wigley"} ], "uin" : "HL3273"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1540887", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1540887/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK takes all allegations of chemical weapons use seriously. The use of chemical weapons is prohibited by the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and is a clear threat to international peace and security. We will continue to uphold and protect the Convention's ban on the use of chemical weapons. The Government is aware of reports that chemical weapons were used in northern Iraq. We have no direct evidence to support these claims.

Over 13 million people have already received their COVID-19 booster vaccination or third dose. We continue to review the effectiveness of the programme in order to maximise the COVID-19 booster vaccination campaign.<\/p>

There are more clinics in England delivering COVID-19 vaccines, including pharmacies, general practitioner practices and other community sites. There are hundreds of walk-in sites offering booster vaccines without an appointment. In addition, COVID-19 booster vaccines have been delivered or scheduled in nine out of ten care homes in England.<\/p>

Initiatives to promote the programme have included bespoke social media communications and the \u2018Boost your immunity this winter\u2019 launched in mid-October, encouraging all those eligible to take up the booster vaccine when offered. The advertising is forecast to reach 99% of all adults throughout the nine week period of the campaign.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4909", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Kamall"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Kamall"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-01-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-01-11T15:22:16.473Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-10-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Coronavirus: Vaccination"} , "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 rate of COVID-19 vaccinations; and what plans they have to promote take-up of the vaccine.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4282", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth"} ], "uin" : "HL3273"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1189756", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1189756/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Cosmetic dental tattoos can be applied to crowns during manufacture if mutually agreed by dentist and patient. Crowns are dental appliances and the addition of a tattoo does not alter the usual patient protections that apply to the commission and manufacture of such appliances. Either the dentist or, in defined circumstances, the technician who created an appliance is professionally responsible for its safety and quality. Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EC sets out the requirements that apply to those commissioning and/or manufacturing appliances.

    Dementia is a key priority for this Government and we are committed to ensuring people with dementia and their carers receive the best possible care in all care settings. That is why in 2012 we launched the first ever Prime Minister\u2019s Challenge on dementia to increase diagnosis rates, raise awareness and understanding and double funding for research in dementia by 2015.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/strong><\/p>

    <\/p>

    A number of steps have been taken to help care for dementia patients:<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    - on 1 April 2014 we have put in place a new Dementia Directed Enhanced Service, which has had over 80% take up by general practitioners (GPs) to reward practices for facilitating timely diagnosis and support for people with dementia. An additional enhanced service for GPs will run between October 2014 and March 2015 with a view to a further boost to diagnosis;<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    - in the hospital setting, through the Dementia Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) reward (introduced from April 2012), with around 4,000 referrals a month, it is clear that more people with dementia in hospitals are being identified and assessed. Between April 2013 and June 2014 there have been 59,961 referrals as a result of the introduction of this CQUIN goal;<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    - the Dementia Care & Support Compact, the care sector\u2019s own response to the Prime Minister\u2019s Challenge on Dementia, sets out a commitment to support the delivery of the challenge and improve care and support for people with dementia, their carers and families;<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    - Health Education England (HEE), Skills for Care and Skills for Health launched the pilot for the new Care Certificate on 28 April 2014. Taking place across a range of health and social care settings, the pilots are testing a set of standards designed to help employers to assess not only workers\u2019 skills, but also the knowledge, behaviours and values that are required to deliver compassionate and quality care. The pilots are nearing completion. Subject to evaluation, we plan to introduce the Care Certificate by 1 April 2015;<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    - the Government\u2019s refreshed Mandate to HEE, published on 1 May 2014, builds on the existing ambition to have 100,000 National Health Service staff receive Tier 1 training on dementia by setting an ambition for a further 250,000 NHS staff to receive Tier 1 training on dementia by March 2015, with the tools and training opportunities being made available to all staff by the end of 2018;<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    - 72 communities across England have signed up to the national Dementia Friendly Communities recognition process, with an increased ambition to reach 75 by March 2015;<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    - on 7 May 2014, Public Health England and the Alzheimer\u2019s Society launched a major new campaign with the aim of securing one million people to become dementia friends by March 2015. The campaign is aimed at improving understanding and attitudes about dementia and towards people with the condition. There are currently over 579,000 Dementia Friends; and<\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    - we have made available £50 million capital funding for 2013-14 for the NHS and local authorities to work with providers to create better care environments to help people with dementia live well with the condition. The projects are now in the process of being evaluated and we will disseminate the key recommendations by the end of the year.<\/p>
