The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is an independent body and its clinical guidelines represent best practice, are based on the best available evidence and developed through wide consultation. NICE clinical guidelines are not mandatory, although National Health Service commissioners are expected to take them into account alongside local priorities in the design of services.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 03/05/2018 13:06:58 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2018 answer text <p>The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is working in partnership with the Department, professional bodies and the healthcare system to deliver a package of measures to raise awareness of the significant risks associated with sodium valproate in pregnancy and to support healthcare professionals in reducing the harms from valproate in women of child-bearing age and improving patient safety in line with the strengthened regulatory position. Educational materials for healthcare professionals and patients are being sent to general practitioners (GP) and specialist prescribers. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has updated its guidelines which mention valproate to reflect the new regulatory measures. GP electronic system providers have provided a search and audit function to facilitate the identification of women of childbearing age on valproate and are updating the alerts for valproate.</p><p> </p><p>All parties involved are fully committed to this important work using the resources available from each relevant organisation. In addition, since 2016 the MHRA has been working with a network of over 40 stakeholder organisations (termed the Valproate Stakeholders’ Network) to foster cross-sector support for the new measures and leverage their collective communications reach.</p><p> </p><p>The effectiveness of the new measures in reducing prescribing of valproate in women of childbearing potential will be closely monitored. Relevant data will be published and there will be ongoing follow-up to ensure that the harms to the child from valproate in pregnancy are minimised.</p><p> </p><p>I would particularly like to thank the families involved in the Valproate Stakeholder Network who have shared their experiences and expertise. Their dedication, support and altruism will help to keep future generations of children safe.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 03/05/2018 12:59:46 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
