People are advised to visit their general practitioner (GP) with new or existing moles that have changed in shape or colour. If the GP suspects a mole is cancerous, a two week suspected cancer referral will be made. Depending on the outcome, the mole may be surgically removed. The NHS does not routinely provide mole removal for cosmetic reasons.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 07/06/2023 16:08:18 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the impact of the local shortages of some antibiotics experienced in winter 2022 on the operation of the National Health Service in affected areas.
tabling member constituency	Barnsley Central
tabling member printed	Dan Jarvis
uin	163855
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2023 answer text <p>No assessment has been made. The increased demand for the antibiotics prescribed to treat Strep A in Winter 2022 meant that some pharmacists were unable to supply the medicine shown on the prescription. To make things easier for patients, pharmacists, and general practitoners, we issued serious shortage protocols (SSPs) for penicillin medicines, which allowed pharmacists to supply an alternative medicine without the need for the patient to return to their prescriber.</p><p>At the request of the Pharmaceutical Service Negotiating Committee, we have granted a number of concessionary prices for antibiotics where pharmacies have not been able to purchase products at or below the Drug Tariff NHS reimbursement price. This has helped to ensure overall pharmacy contractors are paid enough for the medicines they dispense.</p><p>We have provided advice to primary and secondary care on the management of supply issues affecting antibiotics for the treatment of Strep A, including direction to supply alternatives, as set out in the SSPs, if necessary.</p><p>We are continuing to work with the UK Health Security Agency and NHS England to coordinate any further communications to healthcare professionals advising on availability of antibiotics, if needed.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 16/03/2023 15:03:04 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
