Health Inequalities
"Some years ago, when I was a councillor, I had a harrowing case involving a young female constituent who was clobbered by the bedroom tax. She has multiple sclerosis and she was going to lose a lot of cash. I want to put on the record my thanks to the …..."Jamie Stone - View Speech

Nursing Workforce Shortage: England

My vast and remote constituency, which has a large and ageing population and is the most remote mainland constituency in the UK, has problems not only with recruitment but particularly with retention.

Nursing Workforce Shortage: England
"The hon. Member makes an extremely interesting point. At the last election, constituents and voters said to me on the doors that they would prefer that nurses were employed by the public purse—by the Government—rather than via an agency, which, by definition, makes a profit on the salaries for those …..."Jamie Stone - View Speech

NHS Funding Bill

Written Question
Monday 21st October 2019
Asked by:
Jamie Stone (Liberal Democrat - Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps the Government is taking to ensure the adequate supply of (a) Sertraline, (b) Quetiapine and (c) Venlafaxine for the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
Answered by Edward Argar
The Department is doing everything appropriate to prepare for leaving the European Union. We want to reassure patients that our plans should ensure the uninterrupted supply of medicines and medical products, including those used for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, once we have left the EU.
The Department, as part of our EU exit preparations, is implementing a multi-layered approach to mitigate potential disruption to supply, which consists of stockpiling where possible, securing freight capacity, changing or clarifying regulatory requirements, procuring additional warehousing, working closely with industry to improve trader readiness and putting in place the National Supply Disruption Response to manage potential shortages.
