The Department is working to expand access to naloxone, to increase the availability of this life saving medicine. On 29 July 2024 we laid legislation which, subject to passage through Parliament, will enable more services and organisations to provide take-home supplies of naloxone without a prescription.<\/p>

As part of these changes, we will ensure appropriate training requirements are in place, so that naloxone supply across all services and professions is safe. We will require that new services and professionals supplying naloxone, other than armed forces personnel, meet specific training requirements, including understanding appropriate practice around storing and supplying naloxone, and ensuring they can properly support an individual being supplied with naloxone, including how to administer the medicine.<\/p>

Training in responding to an opioid overdose, including the use of available naloxone, is already very well established in most parts of the country, alongside naloxone provision. Operational guidance for providing take-home naloxone, including safe use and supply, is available at the following link:<\/p>

Information on the new training requirements will be updated after the legislation comes into force.<\/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" : "2024-08-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-08-01T09:56:29.14Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-07-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Naloxone"} , "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 roll out training on the use of naloxone.", "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" : "1945"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1669845", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1669845/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK remains concerned for the welfare of those in Nagorno-Karabakh affected by limited access to supplies following September's military action in the region. We welcome Azerbaijan's decision to grant UN access into Nagorno-Karabakh and encourage them to continue supporting international efforts to address humanitarian need. We also welcome Armenian and international assistance provided to the 100,000 or more people displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh into Armenia. The UK is providing £1 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to provide life-saving medication, healthcare and other essential support.

Universal Credit is a modern, flexible, personalised benefit reflecting the rapidly changing world of work and replaces six outdated and complex benefits with one. It is simplifying the benefits system and making work pay. Monthly assessment periods align to the way the majority of people are paid and also allows Universal Credit to be adjusted each month. This means that if a claimant\u2019s income falls, they will not have to wait several months for a rise in their Universal Credit.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has made significant investment to improve work incentives including: the reduction in the Universal Credit taper rate from 65% to 63% in 2017, and an extra £1.7 billion a year put into work allowances for working parents and disabled claimants to increase them by £1,000 a year from April 2019. This is providing a boost to the incomes of the lowest paid and result in 2.4 million families keeping an extra £630 per year of what they earn.<\/p>

We are committed to helping the most vulnerable to improve their life chances by tackling the root causes of poverty, and ensuring that children have the best possible start in life continue to reform the welfare system so that it promotes work as the most effective route out of poverty and is fairer towards those who receive it and the taxpayers who pay for it.

We continue to stress to the Government of Bangladesh the importance of respect for human rights and the rule of law. Bangladesh remains a Human Rights Priority Country for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and we regularly raise our human rights concerns including enforced disappearances with the Government of Bangladesh. The then Foreign Secretary raised these concerns with Prime Minster Hasina in September 2018. We urge the Government of Bangladesh to engage constructively with opposition parties, civil society and the media to support a stable, democratic and prosperous Bangladesh.<\/p>

The Policing and Crime Act 2017 enables PCCs to take on responsibility for local fire and rescue services where a local case is made.<\/p>

It is for individual PCCs to consider whether to bring forward such a proposal. The Secretary of State will only give effect to the proposal where it appears, in her view, to be in the interests of economy, efficiency and effectiveness or public safety to do so.<\/p>

It is expected that a PCCs proposal will take account of transition costs, the impact on existing collaborations and where the fire and rescue authority is integrated within a local authority, the impact on wider council functions.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1561", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Nick Hurd"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-04T15:30:50.327Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-06-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Fire and Rescue Services"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what provisions will be made to compensate county and unitary councils who suffer a financial loss as a result of Fire and Rescue Services being transferred to Police and Crime Commissioners; and how much has been made available for that compensation.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/253", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Laurence Robertson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Tewkesbury"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Laurence Robertson"} ], "uin" : "1945"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/349769", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/349769/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Self-harm is a symptom of serious emotional distress which must be acted upon to ensure people get the help they need.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department funds the multicentre study of self-harm, which provides monitoring data on self-harm, and underpins knowledge about self-harm in England. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines on the short-term and longer term management of self-harm cite many outputs from the study.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Self-harm can occur at any age but is most common in adolescence and young adulthood. While many acts of self-harm do not come to the attention of healthcare services, where they do, it is generally at a point of crisis.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We asked the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to investigate people\u2019s experiences of help, care and support during a mental health crisis. The CQC\u2019s report makes it clear that there is still more to do to make sure everyone is treated compassionately in the right place and at the right time. The CQC highlighted that staff attitudes were not always helpful, particularly where people were repeatedly presenting in crisis with self-harm, and that this has implications for risks of self-harm when people are not seen quickly or compassionately enough to stop crises from escalating.<\/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 also introduced the first treatment targets to make sure people get the prompt support they need and mental health is treated on the same terms as physical health.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

This Government is committed to making children and young people\u2019s mental health a high priority. The Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme is being expanded to cover children and young people across England by 2018 and include additional areas of clinical practice. This will involve additional clinical staff being trained in the most effective evidence based treatment for self-harm, depression and anxiety.<\/p>
