answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2018 answer text <p>The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has committed to his officials working closely with the Home Office on legalising the use of cannabis-based medicines, including cannabis-oil. There has not been a meeting between the Secretary of State and the Home Secretary on the potential effect of legalising cannabis-oil medicines on the availability of cannabis as a gateway drug for social use.</p><p> </p><p>An impact assessment is being prepared alongside proposals to consider wider impacts of this policy. There are known harms associated with cannabis use and cannabis remains a controlled drug. The Government has no plans to legalise it for recreational use. As with other medicines in Schedule 2 to the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 (such as morphine and fentanyl), it will continue to be an offence contrary to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 to possess a cannabis based medicine without prescription or lawful authority.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 09/10/2018 16:51:24 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2018 answer text <p>The number of patients per full time equivalent general practitioner (GP) in Easington is not currently published within the NHS Digital General and Personal Medical Services workforce data.</p><p> </p><p>When assessing primary care capacity, it is important to also consider wider workforce within primary care. Many practices have increased capacity for patient care through increasing the skills mix within practice clinical teams including nurse practitioners, specialist nurses to manage those patients with chronic diseases, emergency care practitioners and pharmacists. This is something that is particularly the case within the Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield geographical area and is something that the Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) advises they have both supported and encouraged.</p><p> </p><p>Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield CCG advises that its primary care strategy outlines a general practice five point plan. This includes support for GPs considering retirement to encourage them to stay in general practice longer; giving GPs the flexibility of working across many sites; incentivising GPs to work in this alternative model across several practices as opposed to being a locum; and the GP Career Start initiative aimed at attracting GPs who are looking for the opportunity to take up a post in general practice at an early point in their career and recruiting new GPs from Europe. This strategy is currently being implemented.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 09/10/2018 16:57:49 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
