The number of individuals who have been transferred or seconded to work in preparations for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union in other Government departments is not recorded.<\/p>

Across the Department, staff are working on a range of policy areas related to EU Exit. Communications, analytical and legal staff also provide advice as required. Staff may have been redistributed within their directorates to support or undertake work which involves preparations for EU Exit. Officials may also have reprioritised their work to include EU Exit work, whilst remaining in their primary roles.<\/p>

The Department is continually reviewing workforce plans, reprioritising and assessing changing needs, including identification and cessation of non-priority work where appropriate. The Civil Service as a whole is working to ensure that EU Exit implementation is carried out to a high standard, without impacting public service delivery across the whole of Government.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1585", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephen Hammond"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wimbledon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Stephen Hammond"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-29T13:40:43.603Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care: Brexit"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many officials in his Department have been seconded away from their normal duties to work on the UK's withdrawal from the EU; and what effect that secondment of staff has had on the effectiveness of his Department.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/206", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr David Lammy"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Tottenham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr David Lammy"} ], "uin" : "256204"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1127499", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1127499/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Discussions about managed access agreements for technologies undergoing assessment by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) are rightly held between NHS England as an independent body and the manufacturer concerned. Departmental officials play no role in such discussions, but are in regular contact with NICE and NHS England colleagues about a range of issues, including progress in discussions about a potential managed access agreement for Spinraza (nusinersen) for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. Ministers have also held meetings with Biogen, NICE and NHS England on a number of occasions, at which the availability of Spinraza was discussed.<\/p>

NHS England and NICE have made stakeholders and the public aware of the outcome of its appraisal committee meeting of 8 May and NICE is now able to recommend the use of Spinraza for NHS patients in England, subject to a managed access agreement agreed between NHS England and Biogen which makes Spinraza available to children with the most severe form of spinal muscular atrophy available with immediate effect.

Most post-mortem examinations are carried out by pathologists who specialise in histopathology.

The Voluntary Scheme aims to provide stability and predictability for all parties in terms of the United Kingdom\u2019s branded medicines expenditure and the medicines pricing and access environment for the period 2019 to 2023.

The manufacturer of Evorel transdermal patches has confirmed that supplies of all presentations are currently available. However, they have stated that in some cases supplies are slightly lower than normal and therefore they are applying restrictions on orders as a precaution to ensure limited stock is maintained.<\/p>

The Department is aware that the supplier of FemSeven Sequi patches is experiencing long term supply issues. As a result, they are expected to be out of stock until late 2019. We remain in regular contact with the company to resolve this as soon as possible.<\/p>

Last year Professor Sir Simon Wessely, president of the Royal Society of Medicine, submitted his independent review of the Mental Health Act. The review made 154 recommendations \u2013 including the establishment of new statutory advance choice documents, so that people\u2019s wishes and preferences carry far more legal weight.<\/p>

We have accepted this recommendation.<\/p>

The Government is currently considering the detailed recommendations of the review and will respond in due course.
