Written Question
Prisons: Palliative Care
Tuesday 27th February 2018

Asked by: Madeleine Moon (Labour - Bridgend)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what provisions are in place for palliative care in privately managed prisons.

Answered by Jackie Doyle-Price

There are five privately managed prison contracts, all of which have provisions in place for palliative care. For those prisons where NHS England holds commissioning responsibility, they commission end of life and palliative care provision, support the prisons’ approach to the local authorities’ assessment and management of social care, and ensure that elderly patients are supported in accessing healthcare services.

NHS England has developed a ‘Dying Well in Custody Charter’, mirroring the community based Dying Well Charter, scheduled to be published this spring.

Information on receiving palliative care from Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service by age is not held centrally.

That …..."

Autism Community: Mental Health and Suicide

"One of the risks is that, rather than going to their GP, people will look on the internet, where, sadly, they will find far too much information about how to take their own life and what methods to use. Also, if they go into chatrooms to share, they find encouragement …..."

Drugs
Tuesday 21st November 2017

Asked by: Madeleine Moon (Labour - Bridgend)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessments the Government has made of the procedures for the potential repurposing of medicines; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Steve Brine

The Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC), supported by the Department, is leading work to develop advice for those organisations and individuals who wish to make use of new indications for existing drugs where research has shown robust evidence for the new indication. This advice takes the form of a report which will provide insights into how the drug regulation system and national bodies can support drug repurposing. The report will include recommendations and next steps be driven forward by the AMRC and the medical research charities. We understand the report is due for publication later this year.
