Endometriosis: Health Services
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Friday 24th May 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of the availability of treatment for Endometriosis. Answered by Maria Caulfield No specific assessment has been made. Care for menstrual problems and gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, is a top priority for my Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, as part of the implementation of the Women’s Health Strategy in 2024. We are investing £25 million in women’s health hubs, so that women can get better access to care for menstrual problems, including women with suspected or diagnosed endometriosis. An Office for National Statistics research project is investigating the impact of endometriosis on women’s participation and progression in the workforce. This vital project will improve our understanding, and inform future Government policy. Additionally, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published updated recommendations on treatment of endometriosis, when fertility is a priority. The NICE is also updating its guidance on diagnosing endometriosis, and this is due to be published later this year. NHS England is also updating the service specification for severe endometriosis, which will improve standards of care for women with severe endometriosis. |

Cyprus: Land Mines
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Friday 24th May 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, how much the Department (a) has spent in the last ten years and (b) plans to spend in each of the next three years on de-mining efforts in (i) the Republic of Cyprus, (ii) the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, (iii) the UN-administered buffer zone and (iv) in and around the sovereign base areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. Answered by Nusrat Ghani The UK is unequivocal in its support for a mine-free Cyprus. The UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) works to create options for the sides to progress with the next phase of clearing hazardous areas across the island. Last year we contributed over £1.3 million to UNFICYP and we are consistently a leading contributor of personnel. In January, as penholder we drafted UNSCR 2723 which urged both leaders to overcome existing barriers and expedite demining progress in Cyprus. |

Cyprus: Convention on Cluster Munitions and Ottawa Convention
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Friday 24th May 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, what plans his Department has to encourage the full membership of (a) the Republic of Cyprus and (b) Northern Cyprus to the Convention on Cluster Munitions; and what plans his Department has to encourage the full membership of Northern Cyprus to the Ottawa Treaty. Answered by Nusrat Ghani As a committed State Party to both the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) and Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), the UK urges all states to accede to both at the earliest opportunity, in line with respective obligations and provisions. We welcome Cyprus' existing status within the APMBC and encourage its future ratification of the CCM, recognising the unique security situation on the island. In accordance with the rest of the international community, with the sole exception of Turkey, the UK does not recognise the self-declared "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" as an independent state. |

Ophthalmic Services
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Friday 24th May 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the oral contribution of the hon. Member for Strangford on 30 April 2024, Official Report, columns 49WH and 50WH, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of an increase in the deployment of combined cataract and glaucoma procedures in independent sector treatment centres on (a) public spending and (b) patient wellbeing. Answered by Andrea Leadsom Combined treatment for glaucoma and cataracts can already be considered when clinically appropriate, taking into account the patient’s wishes and the best available evidence. However, glaucoma is a chronic condition that requires long-term management and monitoring. For patient safety, all glaucoma or ocular hypertension surgery should be performed within units that are providing the full range of services, including diagnosing, treating, and monitoring patients. This also includes offering a full range of medical and surgical treatments that can include drops, laser treatments, and a full range of surgical procedures. This ensures that patients receive the right care, appropriate for the stage and type of glaucoma, and that inappropriate surgical interventions are not undertaken that compromise the long-term management of the patient’s condition. |
