Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to extend the MHRA and NHS Digital Medicines in Pregnancy Valproate Registry to include all anti-epileptic drugs.
This question was answered on 30th March 2021
The Medicines in Pregnancy Valproate Registry will be used as a platform for building a data collection for all girls and women prescribed any anti-epileptic drugs in pregnancy. This has been prioritised within the next phase of development. We will shortly bring forward legislation to support the implementation of medicines registries across the healthcare network and to improve systematic collection of data.
