answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>The Code of Conduct states that members must declare “any interest which is a relevant interest in the context of the debate or the matter under discussion”. The test of relevant interest is “whether a reasonable member of the public” might think that the “member’s actions in Parliament will be influenced by the interest”. Members must decide whether to declare an interest on a case-by-case basis. The Registrar of Lords’ Interests is available to advise in case of doubt, and a member who acts on the Registrar’s advice in determining what is a relevant interest fully satisfies the requirements of the Code of Conduct in that regard.</p> answering member printed Lord McFall of Alcluith question first answered 23/07/2018 13:50:57 answering member 4148 label Biography information for Lord McFall of Alcluith

The MHRA provides information to doctors and patients to help ensure medicines are used safely. However, the prescribing of any particular medicine and matters of clinical care of the patient remains the responsibility of the doctor/clinician. He or she is in the best position to decide on the type of treatment, which is most appropriate for an individual patient given their clinical expertise and their knowledge of the patient’s medical condition. The MHRA does not regulate clinical practice, collect reports on or investigate allegations of medical malpractice.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 23/07/2018 14:03:58 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
