To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that blood transfusion donations are carefully monitored to prevent recipients from getting ill as a result.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that blood transfusion donations are carefully monitored to prevent recipients from getting ill as a result.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for the controls and authorisations that apply to sites that collect, test and supply human blood or blood components intended for transfusion, and controls of blood establishments and hospital blood banks.
If the blood is intended for transfusion the blood bank must comply with the United Kingdom's Blood Safety and Quality Regulations. The MHRA assesses blood banks for compliance with these Regulations.
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) complies with the Guidelines for the Blood Transfusion Services in the UK which are published by the Joint United Kingdom Blood Transfusion and Tissue Transplantation Services Professional Advisory Committee (JPAC).
All blood donations are microbiologically screened and must be found negative before they can be issued for transfusion.
The European Union Directive on blood, set into UK law as the Blood Safety and Quality Regulations, defines storage, transport and distribution conditions for blood and blood components once collected. JPAC includes these requirements in the guidelines and these are followed by NHSBT.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of scrutiny of schools by (a) her Department and (b) Ofsted on the (i) workload and (ii) job satisfaction of teachers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of scrutiny of schools by (a) her Department and (b) Ofsted on the (i) workload and (ii) job satisfaction of teachers.
The Department is working with Ofsted to tackle the drivers of unnecessary workload at national level. We recognise the importance of assessing the impact that its policy changes have on teachers' workload and job satisfaction. The Department for Education Protocol sets out commitments to provide schools with a year’s lead time for any changes to accountability, the curriculum and qualifications, and to take into account the workload impact on schools of such changes.
The Department’s ‘workload action plan’, published in February 2017 alongside the results of the 2016 Teacher Workload Survey, sets out the steps we will take to continue to tackle workload at all levels of the education system. Ofsted has carried out a range of activity to support workload reduction: its recently published strategy includes a commitment to seek to reduce regulatory burdens, streamline inspection process and tackle the workload side effects of inspection. These commitments align with the Government’s commitment to reduce the burdens of inspection. Further information is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/594680/Teacher_Workload_Action_Plan.pdf.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what systems are used to monitor the number of (a) inbound telephone calls and (b) e-mails in each Valuation Office Agency office; and how the data on (i) inbound telephone calls and (ii) e-mails are collated.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what systems are used to monitor the number of (a) inbound telephone calls and (b) e-mails in each Valuation Office Agency office; and how the data on (i) inbound telephone calls and (ii) e-mails are collated.
Individual Valuation Office Agency (VOA) offices do not have dedicated telephone numbers or email addresses.
Customer phone calls may be made to the VOA general enquiries phone number. Information on the number of incoming calls is monitored and collated using the VOA’s Customer Service Centre telephony system.
Customers may email the Regional Unit’s dedicated email addresses. Those emails are registered on the VOA’s Customer Contact Log system and are dealt with by the appropriate team for the enquiry, and depending on capacity and the type of enquiry.
A smaller number of customers may also call and email individuals or specific business areas directly. The work that results from these is recorded in our work management systems and goes on to be dealt with by the appropriate team, and where capacity exists.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to monitor the (a) educational attainment of, (b) financial performance of and (c) special educational needs support provided by education providers and multi-academy trusts.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to monitor the (a) educational attainment of, (b) financial performance of and (c) special educational needs support provided by education providers and multi-academy trusts.
The Department has a robust, transparent accountability system in place for education providers which monitors the attainment, progress and destinations of those they teach, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This system is based on performance data published through school and college performance tables and the inspection of schools and colleges through Ofsted. Ofsted inspections include consideration of how well schools and colleges meets the needs of pupils with SEND.
Multi-Academy Trust performance measures were published alongside school performance tables for the first time in 2016.
Where schools and colleges are underperforming the Secretary of State has intervention powers set out in legislation and published in the Schools Causing Concern Guidance.
Academies also operate under a robust system of financial oversight and accountability, founded on a clear framework, effective oversight and compliance based on proportionate risk assessment and intervention where required. Where concerns arise, the Education and Skills Funding Agency works with trusts to prevent financial instability and enable them to recover their financial position and return to stable governance. The sector remains in a strong position, with fewer than 2% of academy trusts subject to an active Financial Notice to Improve.

The government has introduced the requirement for governing bodies to make arrangements to support pupils with medical conditions. We have also provided statutory guidance outlining schools’ responsibilities in this area. This ensures governing boards develop policy to help pupils with medical conditions that is readily accessible to parents and school staff.
The government currently has no plans to survey how many educational institutions have policies in place.
The content of the Common Inspection Framework, safeguarding guidance and training of inspectors are matters for Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman. I have asked her to write to the hon. Member for West Ham and I will deposit a copy of her reply in the libraries of the House.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans he has to change the number of active clean air monitoring sites.
The national monitoring network consists of 276 sites across the UK. Monitoring stations for a wide range of pollutants are sited in accordance with criteria set out in the EU Air Quality Directive to ensure that the data gathered are representative and also comparable across all Member States.
The network is kept under review by the Environment Agency and the Department to ensure it remains fit for purpose and compliant, while delivering value for money. There are no immediate plans to make significant changes to the number or location of sites that are part of the national network.
