tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	183934
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>Health is a devolved matter in Northern Ireland. The honourable Member may find it useful to refer to the answer I gave on 29 October which confirms that preparatory work is underway within the Department of Health in Northern Ireland to allow for the introduction of HPV to boys in Northern Ireland, if and when such a decision is taken by a Health Minister in Northern Ireland. This approach reflects the fact that health policy is devolved in Northern Ireland and so the decision whether to introduce the HPV vaccine for boys is one for Northern Ireland Ministers to take.</p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 01/11/2018 15:22:40 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara

tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	183935
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2018 answer text <p>The Department expects all clinicians to act responsibly when prescribing schedule three drugs such as Tramadol. The responsibility for prescribing and any necessary follow-up rests with the doctor or prescriber who has clinical responsibility for that particular aspect of a patient's care. Decisions on which drugs are prescribed should be based on clinical assessments. Good communication between practitioners and patients is essential and prescribers should always involve patients in decisions about the treatment proposed, including informing them of any possible side effects from their prescribed medicines.</p><p> </p><p>The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs published advice on the use of Tramadol in 2013. This advice can be found at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/144116/advice-tramadol.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/144116/advice-tramadol.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>Advice to prescribers includes warnings that repeated use is associated with psychological and physical dependence.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 31/10/2018 12:09:42 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
