    Annette Brooke, MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, has received responses from the Government to questions she asked in the wake of Bangladesh's Savar tragedy. The collapse of the eight story building in April saw over 1000 garment industry workers killed.

    Annette tabled written questions to the Department for Business, Innovation, and Skills to ask what assessment had been made of the role of British businesses in ensuring the welfare of workers in factories abroad; and whether the Department would consider introducing a small levy on Bangladeshi garments sold in the UK, the proceeds of which could be put towards ensuring worker's welfare.

    Annette Brooke MP has given her support for children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions in Mid Dorset and North Poole at a Westminster event held by the charity Together for Short Lives. Annette met with Anna Gill OBE, a parent carer of a young person with a life-limiting condition, in addition to other representatives from the children's palliative care sector. She learnt about the important work that children's palliative care services - including children's hospices like Julia's House - do in communities across the UK. These services provide an important lifeline to children and families from the moment a child is diagnosed until their eventual death and continue supporting families for as long as they need it.

    Annette Brooke, MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, yesterday questioned Anna Soubry MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health, about her Department's plans to encourage women aged between 60 and 64 to attend cervical screenings.

    Annette's question came during Cervical Screening Awareness Week (9-15 June) which seeks to publicise the importance of screenings for the prevention of cervical cancer. The initiative, which is led by Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, aims to increase public knowledge of this vital issue, as 20% of women in the UK fail to attend cervical screenings despite advice from their GPs.

    Annette Brooke MP attended the launch of the Hearing Screening for Life Campaign in Parliament last week, which is calling for Hearing Screening to be brought in for everybody at the age of 65.

    Hearing loss is a major public health issue affecting over 10 million people in the UK - one in six of the population. It impacts on communication, causing difficulties for people interacting with their family and friends, and can lead to social isolation and depression. It reduces the ability to access services including healthcare and can exacerbate or lead to other medical problems. In particular, new evidence suggests that there is a link between hearing loss and dementia.
