answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2019 answer text <p>We are concerned by the findings of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction’s <em>European Drug Report 2019</em> on the prevalence of cocaine use in the United Kingdom, especially among younger people. The Home Secretary has appointed Professor Dame Carol Black to lead a major review which will build on existing Government strategies to combat drugs and will examine the harms that drugs cause and the best ways to prevent drug-taking. The report will also examine the drivers behind recent trends such as the increased recreational use of Class A drugs by young adults. The plan is for Dame Carol to present the Home Secretary with a report detailing her key findings and proposals by the end of the summer. The outcome of this meeting will shape phase 2 of the review. The Government will respond to recommendations made in the report once it is finalised and published.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 27/06/2019 13:34:46 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with care providers following the abuse of patients with learning disabilities at Whorlton Hall hospital filmed by the BBC's Panorama programme, aired on 22 May.
tabling member printed	Baroness Thomas of Winchester
uin	HL16437
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2019 answer text <p>The Government has had no discussions on this matter with care providers directly. The Care Quality Commission, the independent inspectorate of hospitals and adult care homes, has commissioned an independent review of its inspection and regulatory approach to Whorlton Hall, which should inform work to ensure the appropriate oversight of care provided to people with a learning disability.</p><p>On 21 May 2019, I laid a written statement (HLWS1533) in which it was announced that the National Health Service would be strengthening its existing oversight arrangements. Where someone with a learning disability and/or autism is an inpatient out of area they will be visited every six weeks if they are a child and every eight weeks if they are an adult, on site. The host clinical commissioning group will also be given new responsibilities to oversee and monitor the quality of care for hospitals in their local areas.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 27/06/2019 13:35:36 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
