I guess that's a recent instruction about QNH on final approach? All the years I was operational, aircraft were given QNH in initial descent and never again, unless it changed. Donkeys years ago we used to pass QFE or airfield elevation, but that ceased. Some very keen trainees gave the QNH every time they descended an aircraft to a lower altitude.... which grinds a bit after the fourth time in 5 minutes!!!
