answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>The Department has been working hard with industry to help resolve supply issues with some attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medicines, including Concerta XL tablets, which are affecting the United Kingdom and other countries around the world. This has involved asking that suppliers expedite deliveries to boost supplies of these important medicines, and addressing regulatory issues to ensure continuity of supply. As a result of our ongoing activity and intensive work, some issues have been resolved. We expect the disruptions to the supply of Concerta XL tablets to be resolved in May 2024.</p><p>The Department held a roundtable with all suppliers of methylphenidate prolonged-release tablet suppliers, including Janssen, in April 2024, to discuss the challenges they are facing, what they are doing, and what needs to be done to address these issues.</p><p>We have worked closely with specialist clinicians during this time to develop management advice for the National Health Service. The guidance includes advice for ADHD service providers and specialists to offer rapid response to primary care teams seeking urgent advice for the management of patients. This includes those known to be at a higher risk of adverse impact because of these shortages.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson grouped question UIN 26903 question first answered 23/05/2024 15:25:17 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2022 answer text <p>This government believes that freedom of speech and academic freedom are fundamental pillars of our higher education system and that protecting these principles should be a priority for universities.</p><p>That is why the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Bill has been introduced. The bill will strengthen existing freedom of speech duties and directly address gaps within the existing law, ensuring, for example, that higher education providers found to be in breach of their duties can be clearly and robustly held to account. The bill also applies the duties directly to students’ unions and constituent colleges, including those at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The bill introduces a role for the Office for Students board, with responsibility for overseeing its strengthened duties to promote freedom of speech and investigate where potential breaches of the duties occur.</p><p>The changes will introduce clear consequences for breaches of the new duties and ensure that these principles are upheld.</p><p>The bill is currently passing through the House of Lords.</p> answering member constituency Morley and Outwood answering member printed Andrea Jenkyns question first answered 20/07/2022 10:34:52 answering member 4490 label Biography information for Dame Andrea Jenkyns
