question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that more than 6 million people, half of them children, have been forcibly displaced in Sudan; and that Sudan now represents the biggest displacement crisis globally.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL499
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2023 answer text <p>The UK condemns the ongoing violence in Sudan, and the consequent humanitarian impacts on people displaced both inside the country and those forced to flee to neighbouring countries. We commend those countries who have kept their borders open. In May, the Minister for Development and Africa announced that the UK would provide £21.7 million in humanitarian aid for people in need in Sudan. This followed an earlier announcement of £5 million to help meet the urgent needs of refugees and returnees fleeing to South Sudan and Chad. We continue to call on both sides of the conflict to abide by their responsibilities under International Law, protect civilians and to grant immediate and unimpeded humanitarian access, so that aid can reach those who need it, including those who have been displaced.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 06/12/2023 17:45:08 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether clinical guidelines have been produced about the prescription of longer courses of anti-virals for refractory infections in immunocompromised individuals; if not, what assessment they have made of the impact of a lack of guidelines on doctors’ ability to issue appropriate prescriptions; and what assessment they have made of the impact of the COVID-19 Medicines Delivery Unit’s decision-making processes on treatment access for patients with immunodeficiency.
tabling member printed	Lord Mendelsohn
uin	HL499
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2022 answer text <p>Clinical access policies for the routinely available COVID-19 treatments in the National Health Service apply to treatment decisions being made by clinicians working with COVID Medicine Delivery Units in England. These decisions typically reflect the use within a medicine’s marketing authorisation, including the dose and duration of treatment to be provided, although there are mechanisms which allow the consideration of off-label use. The RAPID C-19 collaboration, led by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, monitors any emerging evidence from clinical trials which informs these clinical access decisions.</p><p> </p><p>The clinical access policy states that the antivirals molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir+ritonaivir should be taken for five days. Any treatment duration beyond the marketing authorisation is not included in this policy unless it is supported by evidence on the benefit and safety in clinical trials. No specific assessment of the impact of prescription guidelines and the COVID-19 Medicine Delivery Units’ decision-making process has been made.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 07/06/2022 11:27:35 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
