answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the expert committee that advises Ministers on immunisation related issues, considered the safety of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in June 2015. It considered reports made to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and also published literature. It concluded that it had no concerns about the safety of the HPV vaccine. The JCVI strongly supported continued use of the HPV vaccine to prevent infection with HPV and reduce cases of cervical cancer and other HPV associated cancers. The minutes of the meeting will be published later in the year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>European regulators are aware of the reports emerging from Denmark, including reports of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and these remain under review.

answer text <p>The UK Guidelines on the Clinical Management of Drug Misuse and Dependence are currently being updated by an expert group which is being supported by Public Health England (PHE). Addiction to prescription and over-the-counter medicines is among the areas being looked at. The updated guidance is due to be published in 2016.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>PHE provides support to local authorities to carry out a joint strategic needs assessment (JSNA) in their local area each year. A key part of this support is the annual JSNA support pack, which includes data on addiction to medicines, which can help commissioners assess local problems with prescription drug addiction and commission appropriate services. In addition, PHE is supporting a small number of local areas to pilot improvements in their commissioning of responses to additions to medicines.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>PHE is also supporting an expert group led by the Faculty of Pain Medicine at the Royal College of Anaesthetists to develop a core resource on opioid pain medicines that can be used as a source of consistent information by any medical body developing its own materials.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In September 2013 the Home Secretary commissioned the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) to explore the potential for medical and social harms arising from the diversion and illicit supply of prescription drugs. This work includes consideration of the prevalence of misuse, user demographics, and the most common drugs being misused. The ACMD’s report on its findings is expected later this year.</p><p> </p>
