	tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
	uin	HL4817
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to introduce a national helpline specifically to support people affected by prescribed drug dependence. People who feel that they might be dependent on either prescribed or over the counter medicines should seek help from a health professional in the first instance, such as a general practitioner (GP) or pharmacist. Help and advice is also available from the 111 helpline or the online NHS Choices service. People who have developed problems with benzodiazepines, antidepressants, painkillers and other medicines should seek help from their GP in the first instance. Specialist advice for GPs and support for patients with complex and severe problems is available from substance misuse services which are available in each local authority across the country.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has commissioned Public Health England to undertake an evidence review to better understand the scope of the problem of prescribed drug dependence. The review will bring together the best available evidence on prevalence and prescribing, the nature and likely causes of dependence or withdrawal among some people who continue to take these medicines and effective prevention and treatment responses for each indication.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen question first answered 29/01/2018 17:46:05 answering member 4330 label Biography information for Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>The NHS Constitution pledges to engage staff in decisions that affect them and the services they provide. All National Health Service organisations are expected to adhere to this expectation, but are not legally obliged to do so. A failure to engage with staff may lead to investigation and the imposition of mandated support or enforcement action. Foundation trusts have a council of governors, which includes staff representatives, which can hold the board to account.</p> answering member printed Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen question first answered 29/01/2018 16:53:42 answering member 4330 label Biography information for Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2018 answer text <p>The Challenge on Dementia 2020, published in February 2015, set the expectation that social care providers deliver appropriate training on dementia to all relevant staff, however we have no plans to make dementia training compulsory in care homes for older people.</p><p> </p><p>Since April 2015, newly appointed health care assistants and social care support workers, including those who will provide care and support to people with dementia in care homes have been undergoing training as part of the national implementation of the Care Certificate. The Care Certificate equips new staff with the knowledge and skills which they need to provide safe, compassionate care across a range of areas, including the care of people with dementia.</p><p> </p><p>There is no statutory requirement for providers to implement the Care Certificate. Care Quality Commission inspectors do, however, have powers to enforce regulations covering staff induction and training. As such, they would expect to see induction programmes that are broadly equivalent to the Care Certificate standards.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 16/01/2018 12:29:41 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
