answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>The decision by a patient to disclose female genital mutilation (FGM) to a healthcare professional is complex, and depends on many considerations. The FGM Mandatory Reporting duty (which applies only when the patient is under 18) is just one aspect of this.</p><p> </p><p>The Home Office amended the police Annual Data Requirement (ADR) to allow police forces the opportunity from April 2018 to record, on a voluntary basis, offences of FGM which were initially reported to the police under the FGM Mandatory Reporting Duty. Subject to data quality checks, we expect the first dataset under this new voluntary ADR collection to be published in late 2019.</p><p> </p><p>With this information in combination with the FGM Enhanced Dataset, published by NHS Digital, we will be able to consider whether there is evidence of impact of the FGM Mandatory Reporting duty.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 20/11/2018 14:58:30 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2018 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence does not classify or regulate new treatments. Licensing of new medicines, including combinations of active substances, is undertaken by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) or the European Medicine Agency in consultation with the MHRA. The MHRA is the Government agency responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work and are acceptably safe.</p><p> </p><p>Most combinations of active substances are so-called ‘fixed combinations’ – most commonly a tablet containing two or more different medicines. Fixed combination applications can be classified as:</p><p>- Products containing one or more new active substances;</p><p>- Products containing a combination of previously licenced substances; and</p><p>- Generic copies of the above.</p><p> </p><p>The legal basis for the regulation of combination medicinal products is given in European Union Directive 2001/83/EC as amended, and subsequently implemented into United Kingdom medicines legislation. The specific legal basis and the data requirements for combination medicinal products vary depending on the active substances in the combination, the development undertaken, and the licenced indications of the product.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 07/11/2018 12:34:52 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2018 answer text <p>Throughout the previous female genital mutilation (FGM) Prevention Programme, the focus of protecting young girls from FGM remained on local National Health Service trusts, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and Local Safeguarding Children Boards and other partners to develop appropriate local arrangements to deliver the improvements themselves.</p><p> </p><p>Governance and monitoring/planning was built into the Programme framework since its launch in 2014, including plans to conclude the Programme and discussions and arrangements for the work to be taken forward after April 2018.
