Public Health England (PHE), NHS England and others are working together to deliver a wide-ranging programme of work to reduce addiction to medicines. This includes completed work such as publishing a guide to commissioning services to respond to addiction to medicines, factsheets for general practitioners (GPs) (Royal College of General Practitioners) and delivering face-to-face training for GPs and other healthcare workers. Looking ahead, PHE is supporting a number of pilots of improved local commissioning.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
There is now better awareness of these issues among GPs and clearer prescribing guidelines.<\/p>

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has not recently issued any new advice on the addiction potential or the safe withdrawal from benzodiazepines or \u201cz drugs\u201d.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Benzodiazepines and \u201cz drugs\u201d (zaleplon, zolpidem and zopiclone) are recognised to be associated with an addiction potential particularly when taken for longer than the recommended 2-4 weeks. Over the years action has been taken by the MHRA, the Department of Health and professional bodies to provide extensive warnings about the risks of dependence, limit prescribing and issue advice about gradual withdrawal.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The risk of dependence on a benzodiazepine (or zaleplon, zolpidem and zopiclone) can increase with higher doses and longer duration of use; therefore, the time it takes to completely stop the medicine varies and withdrawal programmes may sometimes need to be individually tailored.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Patients receive a patient information leaflet in their pack of benzodiazepine (or zaleplon, zolpidem and zopiclone). The leaflet includes information and advice about their medicine, which will support the vital discussions they have with their doctor and pharmacist about their treatment or stopping treatment.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Benzodiazepines and \u201cz drugs\u201d are considered acceptably safe and effective when used in accordance with the approved indications and for the recommended duration of use.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
An online learning module for healthcare professionals on benzodiazepines was published on the MHRA\u2019s website in March 2013. The module\u2019s section on dependence and withdrawal gives general guidance on the principles of benzodiazepine withdrawal. The online learning module reflects the product information for these medicines.<\/p>

The Secretary of State for Education has confirmed that reducing unnecessary workload for teachers is an absolute priority for this government. We are committed to taking action, and are exploring ways to do this with trade unions through the current programme of talks at the Department for Education. We welcome the National Union of Teachers\u2019 contribution to the programme of talks, and their further contribution to the debate through the proposed eight-step action programme for tackling workload. We will consider carefully the proposals put forward by the NUT. These will be considered alongside the results of the recent \u2018Workload Challenge\u2019, a survey of teachers launched by the Secretary of State and the Deputy Prime Minister, which closed recently after receiving more than 40,000 responses. The results are being analysed and a programme of action will be published early next year. This government has taken steps to reduce bureaucracy and burdens on schools, but we know that there is more to be done, and we are committed to working with teachers to find solutions.<\/p>
