answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/08/2024 answer text <p>The Department is working to expand access to naloxone, to increase the availability of this life saving medicine. On 29 July 2024 we laid legislation which, subject to passage through Parliament, will enable more services and organisations to provide take-home supplies of naloxone without a prescription.</p><p>As part of these changes, we will ensure appropriate training requirements are in place, so that naloxone supply across all services and professions is safe. We will require that new services and professionals supplying naloxone, other than armed forces personnel, meet specific training requirements, including understanding appropriate practice around storing and supplying naloxone, and ensuring they can properly support an individual being supplied with naloxone, including how to administer the medicine.</p><p>Training in responding to an opioid overdose, including the use of available naloxone, is already very well established in most parts of the country, alongside naloxone provision. Operational guidance for providing take-home naloxone, including safe use and supply, is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/implementing-the-recommendations-of-the-neonatal-critical-care-transformation-review/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/implementing-the-recommendations-of-the-neonatal-critical-care-transformation-review/</a></p><p>Information on the new training requirements will be updated after the legislation comes into force.</p> answering member constituency Gorton and Denton answering member printed Andrew Gwynne question first answered 01/08/2024 09:56:29 answering member 1506 label Biography information for Andrew Gwynne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2023 answer text <p>The UK remains concerned for the welfare of those in Nagorno-Karabakh affected by limited access to supplies following September's military action in the region.

We also welcome Armenian and international assistance provided to the 100,000 or more people displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh into Armenia. The UK is providing £1 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to provide life-saving medication, healthcare and other essential support. We are liaising with the UN, ICRC and others to further assess humanitarian need in the region.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 20/11/2023 15:27:12 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2020 answer text <p>Universal Credit is a modern, flexible, personalised benefit reflecting the rapidly changing world of work and replaces six outdated and complex benefits with one. It is simplifying the benefits system and making work pay. Monthly assessment periods align to the way the majority of people are paid and also allows Universal Credit to be adjusted each month. This means that if a claimant’s income falls, they will not have to wait several months for a rise in their Universal Credit.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has made significant investment to improve work incentives including: the reduction in the Universal Credit taper rate from 65% to 63% in 2017, and an extra £1.7 billion a year put into work allowances for working parents and disabled claimants to increase them by £1,000 a year from April 2019. This is providing a boost to the incomes of the lowest paid and result in 2.4 million families keeping an extra £630 per year of what they earn.</p><p> </p><p>We are committed to helping the most vulnerable to improve their life chances by tackling the root causes of poverty, and ensuring that children have the best possible start in life continue to reform the welfare system so that it promotes work as the most effective route out of poverty and is fairer towards those who receive it and the taxpayers who pay for it. We also want to identify opportunities to create a highly productive workforce, improving progression prospects for the lowest paid people so everyone has the right skills to meet the UK’s future demand.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 24/02/2020 18:08:40 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
