uin	120923
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2023 answer text <p>No assessment has been made. Licensed cannabis-based medicines are routinely available on the National Health Service, however, clinical guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence demonstrate a clear need for more evidence to support routine prescribing and funding decisions for unlicensed cannabis based products for medicinal use in humans. Until that evidence base is built, prescribers will remain reticent to prescribe and no decision can be made by the NHS on routine funding.</p><p>We continue to call on manufacturers to conduct research and we are working with regulatory, research and NHS partners to establish clinical trials to test the safety and efficacy of these products.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 16/01/2023 16:48:21 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

tabling member constituency	York Outer
tabling member printed	Julian Sturdy
uin	117574
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2023 answer text <p>As the Government announced on 30 December, we are introducing a number of measures in England in response to the increase in COVID-19 cases in China, and in particular the risk of new variants emerging. To monitor the impact, the UK Health Security Agency began non-mandatory PCR testing with genomic sequencing at Heathrow airport, to detect new variants among passengers arriving on direct flights from China. Also, NHS England is now prioritising sequencing of symptomatic patients admitted to hospital who have been to China in the previous fortnight. To mitigate the impact, passengers arriving from China to England now need to show a negative COVID-19 pre-departure test taken no more than two days prior to departure. This will reduce the risk of people with COVID-19 boarding a flight to the United Kingdom. The situation and the need for these temporary measures will be kept under review.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 12/01/2023 10:49:08 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
