Health and Care Bill

"I absolutely do not agree. The reason why the Opposition Front-Bench team are probing on this is that we are not harnessing all the talents to come up with the solution. As the hon. Member for Nottingham North said, he does not have, or want, any objection to the objective—he …..."

Written Question
Coronavirus: Drugs
Monday 15th November 2021

Asked by: Richard Fuller (Conservative - North Bedfordshire)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 11 October 2021 on Coronavirus: Drugs, whether his Department plans to make Ronapreve available for the treatment and prevention of covid-19 in immunocompromised patients; what the timeline is for Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency's consideration of ADZ7442; and whether his Department plans to seek prioritisation of that appraisal.

Answered by Maggie Throup

On 17 September, Ronapreve was made available to hospitalised patients through an interim NHS clinical policy. On 4 November 2021, the clinical policy was expanded. The clinical policy includes seronegative patients that are hospitalised for the management of acute COVID-19 infection and patients with hospital-onset COVID-19, if they are deemed to be at high risk of progression to severe COVID-19 or at risk of destabilising their condition or recovery from their procedure. This may include immunocompromised patients.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency needs to ensure that products such as AZD7442 are of acceptable quality, safety and efficacy. This is an independent process and approval can only be determined when the full data has been provided by the manufacturer.

Written Question
Pharmacy: Medical Records
Friday 12th November 2021

Asked by: Richard Fuller (Conservative - North Bedfordshire)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of including community pharmacies in IT systems that fully integrate health and care records on supporting effective transfers of care and improving health outcomes for patients.

Answered by Maria Caulfield

The Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework sets out the shared vision for community pharmacy to play an increased role in the delivery of primary care. There is consensus that community pharmacists having the ability to view and contribute to the medical records of patients, in whose direct care they are involved, is required to achieve this.

NHSX is developing interoperable National Health Service IT systems to integrate health and care records while considering issues such as patient consent and data security. This will allow clinicians across the NHS to access patients’ records, make informed clinical decisions and populate those records, ensuring transfers of care are safe and effective and improve health outcomes.
