question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the (a) effectiveness of Sativex as a treatment for and (b) adequacy of access to Savitex on the NHS by patients with aggressively advancing relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

uin	204491
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) considered the clinical and cost effectiveness of Sativex in the development of its clinical guideline on the management of multiple sclerosis published in 2014. NICE was not able to recommend Sativex as a cost effective use of National Health Service resources for the treatment of spasticity in people with multiple sclerosis. Sativex is not therefore likely to be routinely funded by the NHS for use in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, although clinicians are able to make a request for exceptional funding for individual patients who they think may benefit from treatment.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 07/01/2019 13:31:20 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

tabling member constituency	Scunthorpe
tabling member printed	Nic Dakin
uin	204494
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2019 answer text <p>The UK has raised concerns about the Sudan National Security Act of 2010 on a number of occasions, especially on issues of accountability and provisions that offer National Intelligence and Security Service officers immunity from prosecution. As part of Sudan's Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights at the Human Rights Council in May 2016, the UK called for reforms to ensure adherence to International standards. The 2017 Foreign and Commonwealth Office Human Rights Report further urged Sudan to implement its Universal Periodic Review recommendations regarding reform of the act, to ensure that the national intelligence and security services conformed to international human rights standards, and urged full accountability for all human rights violations. We continue to raise these concerns with the Government of Sudan.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin grouped question UIN 204495 204496 question first answered 09/01/2019 15:30:46 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
