	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence is dedicated to achieving a more diverse and representative workforce. Consequently, we have undertaken a wide range of activities to increase representation across British society, including those that have historically been under-represented. As part of this drive, we are working towards a target of 15% of recruits into the Armed Forces being female by 2020. The target is stretching and reflects the importance Defence places on having diverse Armed Forces with all the benefits this brings.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 10/07/2019 13:57:18 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>Adverse events are reported to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) using the Yellow card scheme and can be undertaken by a healthcare professional or the individual experiencing the adverse effect. The demographics required by the Yellow card scheme do not include the occupation of the subject, so military personnel are not uniquely identified.</p><p>The aims of the &quot;713/MoDREC/15&quot; study do not include assessing whether individuals or their healthcare professional reported side effects to the MHRA or to follow-up whether any person experiencing side effects required any form of treatment, including an assessment of whether suitable treatment was available. Data collated in the study is self-reported by individuals and any symptoms reported may not necessarily be related to the anti-malarial taken.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 08/07/2019 16:39:39 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
