The government is committed to delivering 50,000 additional nurses this Parliament and funding for this is already ringfenced. Alongside this commitment, the government will provide hundreds of millions of pounds in additional funding over the SR21 period to ensure a bigger and better trained NHS workforce. The Treasury is working closely with DHSC to develop detailed workforce spending plans and the cancer workforce requirements will be an important part of those considerations.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 31/01/2022 12:49:06 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke

	question text	To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what assessment she has made of the impact the exclusion of alcohol dependence and other addictions from the protections of the Equality Act 2010 has had on (a) discrimination and (b) stigmatisation of people with a history of alcohol dependence.
	tabling member constituency	Liverpool, Walton
	tabling member printed	Dan Carden
	uin	155898
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2022 answer text <p>While the Government recognises the personal challenges faced by people with addictions or dependencies such as alcohol, we subscribe to the view of successive Governments since the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, that it is not appropriate to give such conditions protected status under discrimination law. Alcohol addiction or dependency therefore remains specifically excluded from the Act’s definition of disability under the Equality Act 2010 (Disability) Regulations 2010.</p><p>Addiction and dependency can however sometimes cause a disability – for example lung or kidney failure – or be the result of a disability, for example a mental health condition. Where the addiction arises due to medically prescribed drugs or other medical treatment – for example an individual who has an addiction to painkillers because they are prescribed following an accident or surgery – protection may also be available under the Act. We believe that this offers the right balance between protecting individuals on the one hand and employers and service providers on the other.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 25/04/2022 15:43:17 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
