Following a risk assessment by the Animal and Plant Health Agency regarding the threat of African Swine Fever (ASF), on 31 August we announced new controls restricting the movement of pork and pork products into Great Britain to help safeguard Britain's pig population. Travellers from the EU are no longer allowed to bring pork or pork products weighing over two kilograms into GB, unless they are produced to the EU's commercial standards. The new controls, which came into force on 1 September, will strengthen GB's biosecurity in relation to the standards for bringing pork and pork products into GB from the EU and EFTA states.<\/p>
<\/p>
A UK-wide exercise that simulated an outbreak of ASF was carried out in 2021 to test government contingency plans to contain and eliminate the disease in the event that it reached the UK. The aim of the exercise was to help improve the UK\u2019s animal disease response capabilities through testing plans, instructions and the structures employed in managing an outbreak.<\/p>"}

UK Export Finance (UKEF) does not invest equity or provide funding into projects. The support it provides is in the form of insurance or guarantees for loans from commercial lenders.<\/p>

UKEF considers all applications for support on their respective merits based on objective criteria. Any support given is provided on commercial terms, generating a return for the UK taxpayer.<\/p>
<\/p>
UKEF applies rigorous due diligence processes before providing support for any transaction.<\/p>

The majority of commissioning between independent sector providers and the National Health Service takes place locally. While central contracts were regularly used by NHS England during the pandemic, in 2022/23 there have been no central contracts between NHS England and independent care providers to increase diagnostic or elective surgery capacity.<\/p>
<\/p>
In February 2022, NHS England published the Delivery plan for tackling the COVID-19 backlog of elective care,<\/em> which sets out how the National Health Service will recover and expand elective services over the next three years. It advises that effective use of the independent sector should be encouraged to increase capacity and reduce waiting times. A copy of the plan is attached.<\/p> <\/p>
In January 2022, NHS England published the 2022/23 priorities and operational planning guidance, <\/em>which states that independent sector should be considered to manage winter pressures and increase capacity, including through virtual wards. A copy of the guidance is attached.<\/p>"}

NHS England is committed to minimising potential inequalities of access to COVID-19 treatments and has led on United Kingdom-wide clinical policy arrangements which support access to evidence-based treatments through consistent clinical criteria, regardless of geography. The OpenSAFELY analysis of patient records contributes to our understanding of access and enables the National Health Service to undertake targeted actions. NHS data indicates that access is highest in those of white British, white Irish and Asian backgrounds and lowest in those of black or black British backgrounds. Over 80% of potentially eligible patients in community settings can be identified digitally and therefore automatically referred for clinical assessment.<\/p>
NHS England\u2019s initial assessment indicates that individuals in black and black British groups are more likely to be uncontactable during the five to seven day treatment window and are also more likely to decline the treatments offered through the clinical assessment process. NHS England works with local health systems to ensure that information on differences in access and treatment can considered locally and action can be taken by front line clinical teams. NHS England also has regular engagement with charities, patient groups and other stakeholders to understand experiences of the COVID-19 testing and treatment pathway and to consider further action to mitigate any potential barriers to access.<\/p>
As integrated care boards prepare for routine access arrangements for COVID-19 medicines recommended following the conclusion of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence\u2019s current multiple technology appraisal process, NHS England continues to support local systems to address any disparities. This includes developing a dedicated health inequalities dashboard to identify disparities and sharing learning and best practice from other programmes. NHS England encourages systems to use a population health management approach, as defined in NHS England\u2019s CORE20PLUS approach for narrowing health inequalities, which enables integrated care systems to respond to the needs of its local population and ensure equity of access to treatments.<\/p>"}
