The Department has not made any assessment of the effect of the regulation of section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 on medical devices containing computers.<\/p>

<\/p>

Section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places duties on any person who designs, manufacturers, imports or supplies any article for use at work to ensure that it will be safe and without risks to health. In general this applies to all devices used in the workplace but there are exceptions, such as medical devices, which are regulated by specific regulations that set out more detailed duties.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Medical Devices Regulations 2002 deal with the design, manufacture, import or supply of medical devices, including those which may contain computers/software. It is for the designer, manufacturer, importer or supplier to demonstrate that their product is safe. These regulations transpose the requirements of the following European Directives concerning product safety for medical devices:<\/p>

- Council Directive 90/385/EEC on Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMDD)(1990);<\/p>

- Council Directive 93/42/EEC on Medical Devices (MDD)(1993); and<\/p>

- Council Directive 98/79/EC on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (IVDMD)(1998).<\/p>

<\/p>

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regulates medical devices in the United Kingdom. The following link provides more information on MHRA and its role:<\/p>

The Acute Data Alignment Programme (ADAPt) was established on 9 January 2018, and was launched in June 2018. The ADAPt Programme is jointly led by NHS Digital and the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) in partnership with stakeholders from the Department, NHS Improvement, NHS England, and the Care Quality Commission.<\/p>

<\/p>

The programme has served to develop good working relationships between PHIN, NHS Digital and key stakeholders. The first phase focuses on ensuring that independent hospitals and National Health Service private patient units are submitting robust, complete and accurate data to PHIN, and that performance measures already required to be published by Order of the Competition and Markets Authority can be achieved as quickly as possible. The second phase will ensure the data flows from independent providers into NHS Digital, just as it does from NHS providers, enabling consistency in measurement and understanding of both risk of harm and health outcomes for patients wherever they are treated.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4065", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thurrock"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jackie Doyle-Price"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-04-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-15T12:38:56.79Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Medical Records"} , "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, what steps his Department is taking to improve data sharing between private and NHS hospitals.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/308", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Jim Cunningham"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Coventry South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Jim Cunningham"} ], "uin" : "243337"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1111113", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1111113/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Commission on Human Medicines Expert Working Group on Hormone Pregnancy Tests considered that the key limitations of previous studies related to the accuracy of recording of what drug was taken by the women; clarity over the timing of administration during pregnancy; adjustment for confounding factors; selection of controls; and the statistical methodology.<\/p>

NHS England commissions specialised mental health services for children, young people and adults who are deaf. These include inpatient and outreach services for children and young people and services for adults who require inpatient care, including care in secure mental health services.<\/p>

Access to services is based on a clinical assessment of need and conducted with the support and involvement of clinicians, including consultant psychiatrists and mental health nurses, with the skills and experience of working with deaf people with mental illness and are able to communicate using British Sign Language where needed.<\/p>

The Government recognises the challenges of combining work and care. In June 2018 we published an action plan setting out a cross-Government programme of targeted work to support carers over the next two years. That includes action to support employers to improve working practices and to help carers to stay in work and return to work, as well as improving advice on financial support.<\/p>

Employees already have the right to request flexible working, to take a reasonable amount of time off from work to deal with an emergency involving a child or dependant and to take unpaid parental leave. We are also considering creating a duty for employers to determine whether a job can be done flexibly, and make that clear when advertising.<\/p>

Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we continue to prioritise mental health in the National Health Service and are investing in improving early intervention and access to services. We are also implementing new mental health services in schools and colleges as announced in the Green Paper on Children and Young People\u2019s Mental Health.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4065", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thurrock"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jackie Doyle-Price"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-04-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-18T12:24:15.66Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mental Illness: Children"} , "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, what steps are being taken to support the parents of children with mental illness in order that they are still able to work.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3998", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mark Menzies"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Fylde"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mark Menzies"} ], "uin" : "243405"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1110548", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1110548/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Access to comprehensive, accurate and timely data is critical to the safe, effective and efficient running of the health and social care system in England. We set out our ambition to introduce and use new technology including the innovative use of data in \u2018The future of healthcare: our vision for digital, data and technology in health and care\u2019.<\/p>

<\/p>

Our focus is on getting the digital architecture of the health and care system right, including open standards, secure identity and interoperability, which are critical to the safe and successful use of technology, ensuring that systems talk to each other and that the right data gets to the right place at the right time.<\/p>

<\/p>

New technologies offer great potential to support preventative, predictive and personalised care. For example, enabling data sets to be linked effectively provides the opportunity to use data-driven technologies such as artificial intelligence to help diagnose diseases or conditions and to gain better insights into treatments and preventions that could benefit all of society.<\/p>

The NHS Long Term Plan, published on 7 January 2019, commits the National Health Service to improving the provision of mental health support for older people with a range of needs and diagnoses, including common mental health problems and severe mental illnesses. This improvement applies across all mental and physical health services and settings, including Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), community, crisis and liaison mental health care as well as new models of integrated care for older people living with frailty. The National Implementation Framework, to be published later this spring, will provide further information on how the Long Term Plan will drive improvements in older people\u2019s mental health care.<\/p>
