question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency has made in tackling the diversion of Xanax from the regulated supply chain to the criminal market; for what reason that diversion has taken place; how many prosecutions there have been; and what plans have been put in place to prevent that diversion.

uin	185104
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>Xanax is a licensed medicine and is scheduled under the Misuse of Drugs Act (Class C) for which the Home Office is responsible. Its availability on the NHS is limited. It could only be obtained through the legitimate supply chain as an unlicensed “Special” if an available licensed medicine could not meet patients’ clinical needs. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has found no evidence of diversion of Xanax from the legitimate supply chain. There have therefore been no prosecutions in relation to the diversion of Xanax from the legitimate supply chain. Without evidence of diversion of Xanax from the legitimate supply chain, the MHRA has no plans to put in place specific action to tackle its diversion at this time.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 05/11/2018 16:39:59 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information the Care Quality Commissioned has obtained through its inspections on (a) how the controlled drug Xanax is managed within health and care services and (b) the failures that lead to the diversion of Xanax to the criminal market.

uin	185105
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>Alprazolam (available under the trade name Xanax) has very limited availability on the National Health Service. As a consequence, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) sees very little of it on its inspection of health and care services. The CQC would only come across it through inspection of its independent providers, from which it is not currently aware of any concerns.</p><p> </p><p>The CQC is aware of alprazolam misuse through attendance at NHS England led Controlled Drug Local Intelligence Networks. Concerns have been raised by police controlled drug liaison officers at these meetings but these relate to alprazolam which they believe is being obtained by other means, not by diversion from the legal supply chain.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 06/11/2018 16:27:27 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

uin	183954
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2018 answer text <p>There are many reasons why someone could be vulnerable or in need of additional support, and we work hard to ensure that the support we provide for each claimant is tailored specifically to their circumstances, making individual assessments of the help that each claimant needs.</p><p> </p><p>This will also be true of the migration process which will begin in 2019, with small-scale testing of up to 10,000 claimants to ensure our process works well before the volume of migration increases. We are committed to ensuring that all claimants and particularly the most vulnerable are fully supported through the migration process.</p><p> </p><p>Many claimants will be better off on Universal Credit, as currently over £2.4bn of legacy benefits remains unclaimed. Universal Credit will ensure (through the managed migration regulations which will be subject to parliamentary scrutiny later this autumn) that 700,000 more households, including those who are vulnerable, will receive the money they are entitled to.</p><p> </p><p>More severely disabled people will also receive higher payments under Universal Credit, with around 1 million disabled households gaining on average about £110 more per month. Transitional protection payments will also ensure that no-one loses out at the point of transition to Universal Credit under the managed migration process.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 02/11/2018 14:41:50 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Lord Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2018 answer text <p>Work coaches delivering Universal Credit undergo comprehensive training designed to equip them with the tools, skills and behaviours required to provide a high quality service to all claimants. Specific training and guidance is provided for working with different vulnerable groups and those with complex needs.</p><p>We are providing all work coaches with an additional two day workshop, designed by experts in mental health and psychologists, and delivered where possible alongside external mental health partners. The training began in November 2017 and will be completed by end of March 2019. Some further examples of other learning currently undertaken by work coaches include:</p><ul><li>Introduction to Working with Customers with a Mental Health Condition – 6 hours</li><li>Drugs and Alcohol Awareness – 3 hours</li><li>Complex Needs – 4 ½ hours</li></ul><p>The draft regulations provide the flexibility and fail-safes to protect vulnerable claimants and those with complex needs. Earlier this month we held a large scale stakeholder event, engaging with over 70 organisations, including those representing vulnerable claimant groups, seeking their detailed input on the managed migration process. We are designing a process that works well for everyone and ensures a smooth transition with continuous support.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 02/11/2018 14:43:39 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Lord Sharma
