  • Consultation on the Proposal to Decommission Gluten-Free Prescribing
    Consultation on the proposal to decommission Gluten-Free Prescribing Draft Report 1. Introduction 1.1. Following consideration of a proposal to decommission gluten-free prescribing by NHS Blackburn with Darwen and NHS East Lancashire CCGs, it was agreed that this was a change to the service provided to people with coeliac disease (the group most eligible for gluten-free prescriptions). Therefore it was agreed by both CCGs to undertake a formal consultation. 1.2. Following a presentation to and feedback from NHS East Lancashire Patient Partners Board, and feedback from NHS Blackburn with Darwen patient groups, it was agreed to conduct the consultation for a period of 4 weeks, from 17th October to the 11th November 2016. 1.3. The consultation was conducted primarily online, although the option for paper copies of the questionnaire, or the questionnaire in other accessible formats was available by contacting the respective CCG communication and engagement teams. Briefing documents and a frequently asked questions document was made available to support consideration of the survey questionnaire. 1.4. The survey was promoted through social media, traditional media via press releases and online. The survey was heavily promoted to patient participation groups, and membership scheme members as well as the general public. Contact was made with patients with coeliac disease who were members of the respective CCG involvement or membership schemes and as a result of this, contact was also made with the East Lancashire Coeliac Society. 1.5. The promotion of the survey attracted interest nationally from the National Coeliac Society, the British Specialist Nutrition Association, and the British Dietician Association and locally, from MPs (Kate Hollern, Graham Jones and Andrew Stephenson), and East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (Directorate of Digestive Diseases).

  • Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By
    HOUSE OF COMMONS Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By email April 2019 Dear Home Secretary We write as members representing our Muslim constituents to urge the early release of the very welcome additional funding you have announced for security at places of worship. You will recall the matter was raised in Home Office questions on Monday 1 April. Following the appalling attack in Christchurch last month, we have been speaking to our local mosques, and they are understandably extremely concerned about security, particularly with the approach of the Holy Month of Ramadan, when the community will be highly visible. Many of our constituents will be attending late- night prayers during this month, and feel especially vulnerable when out late in the evening. While the new funding will make a difference, it is therefore imperative that it is released as a matter of urgency, and that application processes are kept as simple and clear as possible, in order that measures can be taken to improve security in good time before Ramadan. We would very much appreciate an early opportunity to meet you to discuss how this could best be facilitated, and look forward to hearing from you in the very near future. Yours sincerely Kate Green MP Rt Hon Anna Soubry MP, Chair, APPG on British Muslims Wes Streeting MP, Co-chair, APPG on British Muslims Naz Shah MP, Vice-chair, APPG on British Muslims Debbie Abrahams MP Rt Hon Dame Margaret Hodge MP Rushanara Ali MP Kate Hollern MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP Eddie Hughes MP Jonathan Ashworth MP Dr Rupa Huq MP Ian Austin MP Imran Hussain MP Rt.

Under the terms of this agreement, the UK is set to receive no more than it contributes. While universities Monday 18 January 2021 in Scotland were relieved to see a commitment to Horizon Europe in the joint agreement, what additional funding The House met at half-past Two o’clock will the Secretary of State make available to ensure that our overall level of research funding is maintained? PRAYERS Gavin Williamson: As the hon. Gentleman will be aware, the Government have been very clear in our [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] commitment to research. The Prime Minister has stated Virtual participation in proceedings commenced time and time again that our investment in research is (Orders, 4 June and 30 December 2020). absolutely there, ensuring that we deliver Britain as a [NB: [V] denotes a Member participating virtually.] global scientific superpower.

  • Sarah Owen MP Member of Parliament for Luton North
    Sarah Owen MP Member of Parliament for Luton North Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Department for Health and Social Care 39 Victoria Street London SW1H 0EU 9th April 2020 Dear Matt Debt of student nurses working to tackle the outbreak of covid-19 Over the last few weeks, we have seen the whole country united in our gratitude to those working night and day to keep our NHS going and look after our loved ones at this difficult time. If this coronavirus pandemic has proved anything, it is just how much we owe to those in the health service who are there for us when we need them most. Health Education England has announced that in response to the crisis 5,553 students from 35 universities had signed up to a paid placement as of Friday, rearranging their studies to respond to your own call for them to join the NHS frontline early. This is a testament to the hard work and sense of duty that those who work in our NHS feel, especially during these unprecedented times. We value the contribution of these nurses and, as MPs, will always stand with them. They are making a vital contribution in our national effort to beat the coronavirus. We ask you and your department to commit to doing all it can to support these nurses who will be facing the start of a new career like no one in our health service has before. Therefore, we are calling on the government to support these new nurses by cancelling the student debt they have incurred throughout their studies.

  • The Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP Secretary of State for Transport Department for Transport Great Minster House 33 Horseferry Road London SW1P 4DR
    The Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP Secretary of State for Transport Department for Transport Great Minster House 33 Horseferry Road London SW1P 4DR 12 June 2018 Dear Secretary of State, During the past month over 2000 Northern Rail trains have been cancelled completely. A further 2000 or so have been “part cancelled” and hundreds of services have been confined to inadequately short trains. These statistics show how clear it is that Northern Rail is yet another failing franchise. Northern Rail’s passengers, our constituents, have been left in the lurch, with cancellations and delays causing complete chaos. We in the North have passengers who cannot travel to work, children who cannot travel to school, with some commuters reporting that more than 70% of their journeys have been delayed over the past six months. Northern Rail was awarded the franchise in 2016 under the stipulation that the outdated pacer trains would be phased out by 2019, along with other improvements and extra services being introduced. We are sure that you will be aware that these things have not yet happened. Your announcement that improving Northern Rail’s service is the Department of Transport’s ‘number one performance priority’ is welcome, but it is crucial that this aspiration is quickly followed by positive action to relieve the travelling misery that our constituents are enduring.
