answer text <p>Through our modern Industrial Strategy we have committed to the highest R&amp;D increase on record. We have announced increases in public R&amp;D spending worth £7bn up to 2021/2022, and we are working with UK Research and Innovation and other key partners to develop a roadmap that sets out how government and industry will work together to reach our target of increasing R&amp;D investment to 2.4% of GDP by 2027, which would be the highest recorded level, and 3% in the longer-term.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that to make best use of this increased level of investment in science we will need to increase the number of researchers and strengthen the pipeline leading to research careers. Though it is too early to assess the impacts of these new programmes we are addressing this need through such programmes as UK Research and Innovation’s £900m Future Leaders Fellowship which aims to attract the best researchers from the UK and from around the world.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Currently, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency only regulates dermal fillers that are placed on the United Kingdom market as medical devices, as defined in the Medical Devices Regulations 2002. The majority of these products are intended to be used in reconstructive surgery, and thus they are considered to be medical devices, although some manufacturers also indicate their products for aesthetic use as well.</p><p>Cosmetic dermal fillers placed on the market without any medical purpose being attributed to them by the manufacturer fall outside the scope of the Medical Devices Regulations, although in practice the majority of the products on the UK market are CE marked as medical devices.</p><p>From May 2020 all dermal fillers, irrespective of their composition and intended use, will be regulated as medical devices under Annex XVI of the Medical Device Regulations (EU 2017/745). The Regulations will significantly strengthen the quality assurance and safety of dermal fillers and ensure a consistent legal status of these products on the UK market. This will lead to a stronger market surveillance of these products.</p><p>Medical devices cannot be designated as ‘prescription only’, as this term only applies to medicinal products. The Government currently has no plans to introduce such a category for medical devices.</p><p>The Government is committed to the safe and effective regulation of medical devices in the UK; we continue to strengthen safety while ensuring patients and the public have fast access to new, innovative devices.</p><p>Through the ‘no deal’ statutory instrument, which will amend the Medical Devices Regulations 2002, the UK will have a regulatory system in place, which will mirror all the key elements contained in Medical Device Regulations (EU 2017/745) and which will be brought into force in line with the transitional timetable being followed by the European Union for the full application of this Regulation.</p>

The Department increased stockholding through its national procurement and logistics operation, NHS Supply Chain, as part of its contingency arrangements for the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

We have regularly made our position clear to the Egyptian Government.</p><p>Our Embassy in Cairo has raised with the Egyptian authorities our concerns about Article 122 of the Child Law, which allows certain juveniles to be tried as adults, as well as the case of Ahmed Saddouma. The Egyptian authorities have told us they are looking into this and similar cases, in addition to our wider concerns about Article 122. We have also engaged with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) on this issue; our Embassy arranged for Reprieve to brief representatives of other EU Member States in Cairo on this subject last year.</p> more like this
