answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2020 answer text <p>There is no legal requirement for a pharmacist to be present when a prescription for controlled drugs is signed. However, when a Schedule 2 controlled drug is collected from a pharmacy, the pharmacist is legally required to determine whether the person collecting is a patient, patient’s representative or healthcare professional, and maintain a record of the person supplied. These measures are important to prevent the misuse and diversion of controlled drugs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 22/04/2020 16:20:17 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 13605 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2020 answer text <p>According to published data from the Estates Return Information Collection, Nottingham City Hospital consumed 30 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of coal in 2018-19. This is a reduction of 50% when compared to the corresponding figure for 2014-15 (60 million). Data is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/estates-returns-information-collection/england-2018-19" target="_blank">https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/estates-returns-information-collection/england-2018-19</a></p><p>The Government recognises the importance of reducing usage of non-renewable energy sources by public sector organisations, both in terms of meeting its commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and reducing levels of air pollution. The National Health Service is taking several actions to support this, including the phasing out of primary heating from coal and oil fuel in NHS sites. Investment requirements to further transform the NHS estate will be considered as part of the multi-year capital budget the Department will receive at the next capital review.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 28/01/2020 16:25:05 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2020 answer text <p>Individual National Health Service organisations are responsible for maintaining their estates. NHS provider organisations invest more than £3 billion of capital annually. 2019-20 NHS planning guidance makes clear that providers should ensure capital investments are consistent with their clinical strategies and how they demonstrate the delivery of safe, productive services.</p><p>We recognise the challenge for providers in maintaining their existing estates and investing in new facilities. In August 2019, we announced £1.8 billion of additional funding, which included a £1 billion boost to NHS capital spending, allowing existing upgrade programmes to proceed and tackling the most urgent infrastructure projects.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 28/01/2020 16:31:52 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar previous answer version 2997 answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
