uin	1319
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2017 answer text <p>There is a team within the Department which deals specifically with medicine supply problems, both in the community and hospitals. It works closely with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the pharmaceutical industry, NHS England and others operating in the supply chain to help prevent shortages and to ensure that the risks to patients are minimised when they do arise.</p><p> </p><p>This work is underpinned by joint Departmental/pharmaceutical industry best practice guidelines which give advice to companies on what to do in the event of a shortage. In the event of a shortage, the Department will explore the available options for continued supply, which might include: investigating alternative supplies, expediting regulatory decisions, commissioning clinical advice and ensuring that appropriate communications channels are in place to alert health care professionals. Many potential shortages are resolved before they can have an impact on pharmacies or patients.</p><p> </p><p>The Department also holds an Essential Medicines Buffer Stockpile, which is in place to make the supply chain more robust for key medicines in the event of a pandemic or other emergency.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 03/07/2017 15:21:06 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the capital requirements for the NHS for the next three years.
tabling member constituency	Ellesmere Port and Neston
tabling member printed	Justin Madders
uin	1301
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2017 answer text <p>The capital budget for the Department - the majority of which is accounted for by capital spending in National Health Service organisations - was set for the years 2016-17 to 2020-21 at the last Spending Review. This was based upon assessments of capital requirements across the Department’s budgets in meeting Government objectives. The capital budget was set as £4.81 billion for each of the five years of the Spending Review period. Further details can be found at the link below:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spending-review-and-autumn-statement-2015-documents" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spending-review-and-autumn-statement-2015-documents</a></p><p>Assessment of demands against, and prioritisation of, this overall capital budget is a continuous process, drawing upon national and local level plans and processes. This includes the Sustainability and Transformation Plan process. In the 2017 Spring Budget the Government recognised that delivery of these plans to transform clinical services for patients will require additional capital investment and announced additional funding of £325 million over the next three years - over and above the original budget set in the Spending Review - to support the most robust and advanced plans. Recognising the particular pressures facing accident and emergency (A&amp;E) departments, the Spring Budget also announced an additional £100 million to the NHS in England in 2017-18 for capital investment in A&amp;E departments.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 05/07/2017 16:14:57 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
