As set out in the King\u2019s Speech, a bill will be introduced to progressively increase the age at which people can be sold cigarettes and impose limits on the sale and marketing of vapes. The Tobacco and Vapes Bill will pave the way for a smoke-free United Kingdom and will be the biggest public health intervention since the ban on smoking in indoor public places in 2007.<\/p>
The bill is a key pillar of the Government\u2019s Health Mission to help people stay healthier for longer, reduce the number of premature deaths from the biggest killers like cancer, and raise the healthiest generation of children in our history.<\/p>
It will also save thousands of lives, break the cycle of addiction and disadvantage, and begin the immense task of fixing our broken health system and rebuilding our economy.

In accordance with the Abortion Act 1967, home use of early medical abortion pills is only permitted if the pregnancy has not exceeded 10 weeks gestation, at the time the first medicine in the course is administered. Before prescribing abortion medicine for use at home, the doctor terminating the pregnancy must be of the opinion, formed in good faith, that the pregnancy is not beyond 10 weeks. This opinion is formed following a consultation with the woman concerned.<\/p>
If there is any uncertainty about the gestation of the pregnancy, the woman should attend an in-person appointment. If she does not attend in-person when there is any uncertainty about the gestation, the doctor leading the termination would not be able to form an opinion in good faith that the pregnancy is below 10 weeks gestation, and therefore would not be able to prescribe abortion pills for home use.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4444", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Karin Smyth"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bristol South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Karin Smyth"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-09-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-09-02T11:52:39.307Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-07-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Abortion: Drugs"} , "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 he is taking to ensure that abortion providers meet their obligations to ensure that a woman\u2019s gestational age is accurately assessed before she may be prescribed abortion pills to be taken at home.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4126", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mary Glindon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mary Glindon"} ], "uin" : "2326"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1724308", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1724308/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department is working closely with NHS England to make sure we have the right workforce with the right skills up and down the country. This includes cancer care and radiotherapy treatment services.<\/p>
As well as increasing the workforce, we will also be treating staff with the respect they deserve, improving their working conditions, and reforming the way they deliver care, so they deliver more care in the community and more preventative care.<\/p>
We are committed to training the staff we need to get cancer patients seen on time. The Government will make sure the National Health Service has the staff it needs to be there for all of us when we need it.<\/p>

HM Revenue and Customs does not have the power to issue on-the-spot fines for retailers selling illegal tobacco or vaping products. Those convicted of selling illegal products could face penalties, including imprisonment or an unlimited fine.<\/p>
However, the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, which will be introduced to Parliament in the coming weeks, will strengthen enforcement at the local level, to support implementation of the measures in the bill and support our ambition to create a smoke-free United Kingdom. The bill will provide Trading Standards with the option to issue fixed penalty notices, which are on-the-spot fines, for certain offences. The new fixed penalty notices will be in addition to existing sanctions, including the existing fine of £2,500 for underage sales, allowing Trading Standards to take quicker action instead of escalating to a court process.<\/p>
A strong and proportionate approach to enforcement is essential to prevent illicit trade and underage sales undermining our efforts to create a smoke-free country. HM Revenue and Customs and Border Force\u2019s new joint illicit tobacco strategy sets out their continued commitment to reduce the trade in, and demand for, illicit tobacco, and to tackle and disrupt the organised crime groups behind the illicit tobacco trade. Work to enhance illicit vapes enforcement, led by National Trading Standards and funded by a £3 million grant over two years, 2023/24 and 2024/25, from the Department of Health and Social Care, will build on existing work to tackle illicit vapes by Trading Standards across the country.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1506", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Gwynne"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gorton and Denton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Gwynne"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-09-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-09-02T11:58:23.733Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-07-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Electronic Cigarettes and Tobacco: Smuggling"} , "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, if he will extend powers from HMRC to Trading Standards to provide on-the-spot fines for retailers selling illegal (a) tobacco and (b) vape products.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1447", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Rosindell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andrew Rosindell"} ], "uin" : "2245"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1724345", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1724345/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The different roles and responsibilities of junior doctors, compared to Agenda for Change (AfC) staff, makes it difficult to draw a simple comparison. Junior doctor pay scales cover a wide range of experience, from new medical graduates, to those about to qualify as consultants. The AfC pay scales cover a diverse range of roles and experiences, including porters, cleaners, nurses, paramedics, and managers. The NHS Job Evaluation Scheme is used to determine the pay bands for all posts under AfC terms and conditions.<\/p>
Outside of multi-year pay deals, pay tends to be set through the independent Pay Review Body (PRB) process. The NHS PRB covers AfC staff, and the Review Body on Doctors\u2019 and Dentists\u2019 Remuneration covers medical staff, including junior doctors. This process involves an independent panel who make recommendations based on their terms of reference and the evidence they receive. As part of this they consider a wide range of factors, including morale, and recruitment and retention, to generate appropriate pay values by workforce, before recommending these to the Government. The Government has accepted the pay recommendations from both PRBs for 2024/25.<\/p>
During the exceptional recent period of industrial action in the National Health Service, bespoke negotiations have taken place outside of the PRB process to address specific concerns. However, a significant part of the overall offer to junior doctors has come from accepting the independent PRB recommendation.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4444", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Karin Smyth"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bristol South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Karin Smyth"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-09-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-09-02T11:48:56.717Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-07-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Junior Doctors: Pay"} , "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 estimate he has made of the pay differential between junior doctors and Agenda for Change staff following his Department's recent pay offer to junior doctors.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "2382"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1724346", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1724346/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
