answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>Following on from our Green Paper ‘Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision: a green paper’, we are incentivising every school or college to identify and train a Senior Lead for Mental Health and are creating new mental health support teams in and near schools and colleges. The mental health support teams are designed to provide low-level and early mental health interventions, to prevent more severe cases from developing and create a broader wellbeing culture in schools.</p><p> </p><p>We are aiming to cover 20-25% of the country with mental health support teams by 2023/24. We expect the first wave of trailblazer mental health support teams to be fully operational by the end of this year.</p><p> </p><p>The wider roll-out will be informed by the evaluation of the initial trailblazers. Brighton and Hove is one of the first wave of trailblazer areas.</p><p> </p><p>Mental health across all ages will receive a growing share of the National Health Service budget, worth a further £2.3 billion a year in real terms by 2023/24.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 05/11/2019 16:43:12 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure the maintenance of the relationship between the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency and the European Medicines Agency after the UK leaves the EU; and what assessment he has made of the effect on people with (a) cancer (b) other conditions of changes to that relationship.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>Our goal is to continue working closely with our European Union colleagues, as we do at present, to make sure patients have access to safe and effective medicines. As set out in the United Kingdom-EU Political Declaration, our priority is to seek a new relationship with the EU that includes close regulatory co-operation for medicines and medical devices. We have always been clear that we wish to explore with the EU the UK’s on-going participation with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and wider regulatory network, as a part of the future relationship negotiations.</p><p>Whatever the outcome of the negotiations, we will set up a regulatory system that protects the best interests of patients and supports the UK life science industry to go from strength to strength. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, with over 30 years’ experience licensing and monitoring the safety of new medicines, already licences the vast majority of medicines on the UK market.</p><p>The Government will ensure that patients are not disadvantaged by the future regulatory regime in order that UK patients are able to access the best and most innovative medicines and their safety is protected. The UK life sciences industry has much to offer in creating, developing, trialling and commercialising medicines that will benefit UK patients and strengthen the ability of the UK to compete internationally.</p><p>The Government has taken pragmatic steps to ensure that patients continue to access innovative treatments in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal. The Government’s stockpiling regime will minimise any supply disruption in the weeks after leaving without a deal. The Government has set out alternative licensing routes to incentivise companies to continue to apply for licences with a view to approval of a licence at the same time as the EU. This will ensure that patients, including those with the most critical conditions, are not put at a disadvantage with regard to accessing innovative treatment. Further to this, all centrally authorised products that are already approved by the EMA will be converted into UK-only licences after exit unless the licence holder chooses to opt out, ensuring continued supply of innovative treatment onto the UK market.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 05/11/2019 17:13:31 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
