	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what happens to unused medication sealed and in date, in hospitals on the discharge or death of a patient.
	tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
	uin	HL903
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2016 answer text <p>In general, if the hospital pharmacy issues medicines to a ward or individual patient and those medicines remain in the organisation, either because they are not supplied on discharge or the patient dies, then the medicines would be returned to ward stock or the pharmacy and re-used. If the medicines had been brought in to the hospital by the patient and the patient is subsequently discharged or dies, and the medicines remain in the hospital, then they would be safely disposed of by the hospital pharmacy.</p><p> </p><p>The main difference between the two scenarios is that, in the first there is sufficient guarantee of the storage conditions to ensure the medicines’ integrity can be assured. In the second scenario, such integrity cannot be guaranteed.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 07/07/2016 12:57:22 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

	tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
	uin	HL7797
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2016 answer text <p>The accommodation provided to refugees resettled in the UK under the Syrian VPR programme is likely to be private rented accommodation and will be within existing local housing allowance rates.</p><p>The first 12 months of a refugee’s resettlement costs are fully funded by central government using the overseas aid budget. At the Spending Review, the Chancellor announced an estimated £460 million over the spending review period to cover the first 12 months’ costs under the scheme. The costs which can be covered from the aid budget include, for example, any education, housing, medical or social care the refugees might need immediately on arrival.</p><p>At the Spending Review the Government committed £129 million to assist with local authority costs over years 2-5 of the scheme. This will be allocated on a tariff basis over four years, tapering from £5,000 per person in their second year in the UK, to £1,000 per person in year five.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 27/04/2016 12:42:44 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
