tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
uin	HL4817
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to introduce a national helpline specifically to support people affected by prescribed drug dependence. People who feel that they might be dependent on either prescribed or over the counter medicines should seek help from a health professional in the first instance, such as a general practitioner (GP) or pharmacist. Help and advice is also available from the 111 helpline or the online NHS Choices service. People who have developed problems with benzodiazepines, antidepressants, painkillers and other medicines should seek help from their GP in the first instance. Specialist advice for GPs and support for patients with complex and severe problems is available from substance misuse services which are available in each local authority across the country.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has commissioned Public Health England to undertake an evidence review to better understand the scope of the problem of prescribed drug dependence. The review will bring together the best available evidence on prevalence and prescribing, the nature and likely causes of dependence or withdrawal among some people who continue to take these medicines and effective prevention and treatment responses for each indication.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen question first answered 29/01/2018 17:46:05 answering member 4330 label Biography information for Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen
