Written Question
Prescriptions
Monday 4th November 2024

Asked by: Baroness Cumberlege (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government why there is disparity in the legal prescribing rights of various professions when nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, therapeutic and diagnostic radiographers, dietitians and paramedics all undertake prescribing training together, and are assessed in the same way.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

Non-medical prescribers must work within their own level of expertise. This, together with the requirements of the roles in which different professions are employed, is reflected in the differences between the legal prescribing responsibilities of these professions. Regulators keep records of which healthcare professionals can prescribe, and employers have a responsibility to ensure that non-medical prescribers undertake the relevant training and development, so that their knowledge and skills remain up to date. This is to ensure clinicians work within their sphere of competence.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Government is carefully considering the valuable work done by the Patient Safety commissioner and the resulting Hughes Report, which set out options for redress for those harmed by valproate and pelvic mesh. We will be providing an update to the Patient Safety Commissioner’s Report at the earliest opportunity.
