The Government has put mental health at the centre of its programme of health reform.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We have increased investment in mental health. Spending on mental health was estimated to increase by £302 million in 2014-15, with total mental health spending rising from £11.362 billion in 2013-14 to £11.664 billion planned in 2014-15, an increase of 0.6% in real terms. We have legislated to put mental health on a par with physical health, and close the health gap between people with mental health problems and the population as a whole.<\/p>

The Government is concerned about consumer detriment in the payday loan market, and agrees it is important that consumers are protected from unfair costs. We therefore legislated to require the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) to introduce a cap on the cost of payday loans, which came into force on the 2nd January this year.<\/p>
We believe BCAP's review of payday loan advertising provides a good evidence base to ensure that consumers are protected from harm in the payday lending market. We welcome the revised guidance to advertisers produced in response to this review, to help ensure that both adults and children are protected, together with BCAPs' public consultation on scheduling to be launched by the end of July. There are no plans to carry out a separate Government consultation on this matter.<\/p>"}

The Financial Conduct Authority has committed to undertake a consultation on unsolicited marketing calls, emails and text messages from consumer credit firms, including payday lenders. This will take place in the summer. The consultation will include specifically looking at whether these unsolicited communications should be banned, given the potential for causing significant distress to consumers.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The FCA requires that cold calling by phone, text or email makes both the identity of the firm clear, as well as the purpose of the communication, so the consumer can decide whether to proceed.<\/p>

We regularly raise our serious concerns about the use of rape and sexual violence in conflict with the Burmese government, and emphasise the requirement to investigate allegations. The then Minister of State at the Home Office, the Rt Hon Lynne Featherstone, in her role as UK Champion for Tackling Violence Against Women, discussed these issues with senior members of the Burmese government in January, including with Ministers of the President\u2019s Office, U Soe Thane and U Aung Min, and also with Deputy Foreign Minister U Thant Kyaw.<\/p>

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate\u2019s (VMD's) Pharmacovigilance Unit runs a voluntary scheme that encourages veterinary professionals, medical professionals and the general public to report suspected adverse reactions or treatment failures following use of veterinary medicines. Pharmaceutical companies are also legally obliged to report adverse reactions they are made aware of to the VMD within agreed timeframes and are inspected periodically to ensure compliance with this requirement.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Adverse reactions may occur in treated animals, in-contact animals, people administering the product or handling treated animals. Each report is individually reviewed before being subjected to statistical analysis to look for trends. Should a pattern of adverse events for a specific product emerge, regulatory actions to improve the safety of that product may be taken. The action taken will depend on the seriousness of the adverse events and the conditions under which they occurred.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
All human reports and statistical findings are regularly reviewed by the VMD\u2019s veterinarians, immunologists, pharmacists, toxicologists and ecotoxicologists before being considered by the Veterinary Products Committee (VPC) who provide independent advice to the VMD.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The number of reports of suspected adverse reactions in humans to organophosphate (OP) sheep dips received by the VMD each year since records began in 1985 is shown below.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
It is not compulsory for reporters to provide information on the occupation of the patient but it is known that at least 83% of those affected were farm workers.<\/p>
