In addition to asking industry to build up stockpiles in the UK ahead of 29 March we have bought extra warehouse space for the additional stock to be held in. We are supporting companies in booking space on aircraft for products which require an immediate shipment due to short shelf-life or specific storage conditions. We have also made changes to, or clarifications of, certain regulatory requirements so that companies can continue to sell their products in the UK even if we have no deal. Finally, we are strengthening the processes and resources used to deal with shortages in the event that they do occur.</p><p> </p><p>We are confident that, if everyone does what they need to do, the supply of medicines and medical products will be uninterrupted.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 25/03/2019 16:06:45 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to introduce a national registration and accreditation system for care workers in England at this time.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to a proportionate system of safeguards for the professionals who work in the health and care system. Statutory professional regulation should only be used in cases where the risks to the public cannot be mitigated in other ways.</p><p> </p><p>Care workers in England are subject to employer checks and controls including a Disclosure and Barring Service check. And, since 2015, healthcare assistants and care support workers have been expected to achieve the care certificate before working unsupervised. This contains 15 standards setting out a common set of skills, knowledge and behaviours that are needed in order to provide safe, high quality and compassionate care.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 25/02/2019 16:57:41 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
