answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2019 answer text <p>Our Green Paper ‘Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision: a green paper’ sets out how we plan to increase the availability of support for children and young people, by reaching them through school or college. There are three key proposals:</p><p>- incentivising every school or college to identify and train a senior mental health lead;</p><p>- creating new mental health support teams in and near schools and colleges; and</p><p>- piloting a four-week waiting time to ensure swifter access to specialist NHS mental health services for those who need it.</p><p>In December 2018 we announced the first 25 ‘trailblazer’ sites that will implement the proposals to provide the new schools/college-based service, 12 of which will also pilot a four-week waiting time. This first wave of mental health support teams will be fully operational by the end of 2019, reaching over 1,000 schools and colleges. We are currently in the process of selecting sites for the 2019/20 wave of trailblazers.</p><p>Through the NHS Long Term Plan the National Health Service has set a goal of an extra 345,000 children and young people, aged 0-25, receiving support via NHS-funded mental health services by 2023/24.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 13/06/2019 16:26:13 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to the safe and effective regulation of medical devices in the United Kingdom; we continue to strengthen safety while ensuring patients and the public have fast access to new, innovative devices.</p><p>All medical devices placed on the UK market must comply with the European Union Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD). The CE mark for a device is placed on a product by a manufacturer to attest to its compliance with the safety, quality and performance requirements of the MDD, before it can be placed on the market, which includes supply to the National Health Service.</p><p>Once a device is placed on the market, the manufacturer is required to continually monitor the performance of their device, submit vigilance reports to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) when incidents occur involving their device and take appropriate safety action when required. Additionally, the MHRA monitors adverse incident reported though the Yellow Card reporting system. Adverse incident reports can be submitted to the MHRA by members of the public, healthcare professionals and the device manufacturer.</p><p>Furthermore, the new EU Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745 (MDR), which entered into force in May 2017, have introduced more stringent requirements from manufacturers to ensure a high level of patient safety. These include increased scrutiny by notified bodies, particularly for higher risk devices, new standards for clinical evidence and more rigorous vigilance reporting requirements.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 06/06/2019 15:27:32 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
