answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2014 answer text <p>The figure of 901 quoted in the Answer of 28 November 2012 to Question 129969 was an estimate provided by the Skipton Fund. Similarly, the eligibility figure of 886 quoted in the Answer of 17 November 2014 to Question 213610 is the Skipton Fund’s current estimate. The difference between the two estimates has arisen because it took some time for the Skipton Fund to update its processes when the stage 2 payment was increased from £25,000 to £50,000 in January 2011. As a result, some new stage 2 recipients received two payments of £25,000, rather than one payment of £50,000. Those individuals were also included in the estimate of 901.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The changes to the scheme were advertised on the Skipton Fund website and everybody who registered a telephone number with the Fund was telephoned on multiple occasions. An email was sent to everybody who registered an email address with the Fund. For anybody still not found using telephone numbers and/or email addresses a letter was sent to the doctor who completed their stage 2 application form.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 25/11/2014 17:33:25 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2014 answer text <p>The Secretary of State for Health is responsible for the United Kingdom medicines licensing system and therefore for its operation and integrity. If he became a regular applicant for licences there would be a perceived conflict of interest between his role as an applicant competing in the medicines market and his role as an impartial overseer of the system. If he directed another body to make licence applications on his behalf we judge that this could incur similar risks.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 25/11/2014 17:34:58 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
