answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department has no plans to subsidise the cost of gluten-free products. Following consultation with major stakeholders such as Coeliac UK, changes were made to legislation in 2018. As a result, gluten-free bread and mixes can be prescribed on the National Health Service to support sufferers of coeliac disease. This ensures the best use of NHS resources while maintaining availability of gluten-free foods for patients on prescription.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 11/06/2019 16:46:19 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2019 answer text <p>All businesses must prevent, or if this is not reasonably practicable minimise, exposure of employees to carcinogens, including asbestos, in the workplace. Businesses must comply with the requirements of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, both of which are regulated by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). HSE also produces free guidance to assist businesses to comply with their legal duties: <a href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/index.htm</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/coshh/" target="_blank">http://www.hse.gov.uk/coshh/</a>.</p><p> </p><p>HSE also works in partnership with businesses and others to raise awareness of workplace ill health. For example, occupational lung disease, including that caused by exposure to carcinogens, is one of three health priorities that form HSE’s Health and Work strategy to prevent workplace ill health. This work includes the national campaign ‘Go Home Healthy’ to promote HSE’s commitment to tackling ill health.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 03/05/2019 13:43:59 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
