question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the health and wellbeing of all participants in the Surgeon-General’s 2016–17 research study on anti-malarial chemoprophylaxis (Ref: 713/MoDREC/15) was monitored to ensure that all adverse events occurring during the study were reported to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA); whether participants have been monitored following the study to ensure that any adverse events that have occurred since are being reported to the MHRA; and what assessment they have made of whether suitable treatment is available to those participants suffering adverse events.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>Adverse events are reported to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) using the Yellow card scheme and can be undertaken by a healthcare professional or the individual experiencing the adverse effect. The demographics required by the Yellow card scheme do not include the occupation of the subject, so military personnel are not uniquely identified.</p><p>The aims of the &quot;713/MoDREC/15&quot; study do not include assessing whether individuals or their healthcare professional reported side effects to the MHRA or to follow-up whether any person experiencing side effects required any form of treatment, including an assessment of whether suitable treatment was available. Data collated in the study is self-reported by individuals and any symptoms reported may not necessarily be related to the anti-malarial taken.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 08/07/2019 16:39:39 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>The government remains committed to continuing to support all carers to provide care as they would wish in a way that supports their own health, wellbeing and life chances. In June 2018, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) published the Carers Action Plan, a cross-government programme of targeted work to support all carers, including young carers.</p><p> </p><p>DHSC has been working with The Children’s Society to identify and publicise effective practices to local authorities to support young adult carers to make positives transitions between the ages of 16-24. To this end, ‘Shaping our Future: Improving Assessment and Support for Young Carers’ Transition to Adulthood’ was published in June 2019.</p><p> </p><p>Further to the reply to PQ <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-questions-answers/?page=1&amp;max=20&amp;questiontype=AllQuestions&amp;house=commons%2Clords&amp;uin=237696" target="_blank">237696</a>, the government is clear that the Care Act (2014) does place duties on local authorities to undertake transition assessments, and that Care and Support Statutory Guidance sets out how these duties should be met.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 08/07/2019 16:13:38 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

The ELS programme is targeting disadvantaged children and young people aged 5-18 across 12 Opportunity Areas (OAs). We have distributed funding of £7.95 million in 2017-18 and £13.8 million in 2018-19 to the 12 OAs to deliver ELS activities. We do not have funding data broken down by academies and non-academies.</li><li>National Schools Breakfast Programme (NSBP) - We are investing up to £26 million into the NSBP. This money will kick start or improve breakfast clubs in over 1,700 academies and non-academies. The focus of these clubs has been to target the most disadvantaged areas of the country (including the Department for Education’s OAs) to help make sure every child gets the best start in life. Information from the programme is still being collected and data on funding at local authority level is not available at this stage.</li></ul><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 08/07/2019 16:02:53 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
