answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2023 answer text <p>Clinicians can prescribe any product on the National Health Service they consider necessary for the treatment of their patient unless it is listed in Schedules 1 or 2 to the NHS (General Medical Services Contracts) (Prescription of Drugs etc.) Regulations 2004. Ferric Maltol is not listed in Schedules 1 or 2; however, NHS guidance is that vitamins and minerals should not be routinely prescribed except for when a patient has a medically diagnosed deficiency. This includes those patients who may have a lifelong or chronic condition or have undergone surgery that results in malabsorption. Ferric Maltol, which may be used to treat iron deficiency, may therefore be prescribed to patients, including those in Chipping Barnet constituency, on that basis.</p><p>It is for the general practitioner or other responsible clinician to work with their patient and decide on the course of treatment, with the provision of the most clinically appropriate care for the individual always being the primary consideration. Clinicians are responsible for making prescribing decisions for their patients, considering best prescribing practice and the local commissioning decisions of their respective integrated care board.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 09/11/2023 17:57:40 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

tabling member constituency	Chipping Barnet
tabling member printed	Theresa Villiers
uin	198643
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2023 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of those who run schools - academy trusts, Local Authorities and voluntary-aided school bodies - to manage the safety and maintenance of their schools and to alert the Department if there is a serious concern with a building. It has always been the case that where the Department is made aware a building may pose an immediate risk, immediate action is taken.</p><p>The Department will spend whatever it takes to keep children safe. The Department will work with the relevant responsible body, which will depend on the type of school or college with confirmed RAAC. The Department’s immediate support will be managed from unallocated departmental budgets. This will not have an impact on existing programmes.</p><p>The Department will fund emergency mitigation work needed to make buildings safe, including installing alternative classroom space where necessary. Where schools and colleges need additional help with revenue costs, like transport to locations or temporarily renting a local hall or office, the Department will provide that support for all reasonable requests. The Department will also fund longer term refurbishment projects, or rebuilding projects where these are needed, to rectify the RAAC issue in the long term. Schools and colleges will either be offered capital grants to fund refurbishment work to permanently remove RAAC, or rebuilding projects where these are needed, including through the School Rebuilding Programme. The Department will set out further details for affected schools and colleges in due course.</p><p>Responsible bodies for schools and colleges with confirmed RAAC that have already taken remedial action should discuss their expenditure with their RAAC caseworker.</p><p>​The Department will always put the safety and wellbeing of children and staff in education settings at the heart of its policy decisions. The Government has taken more proactive action to identify and mitigate RAAC in education settings than the devolved administrations in the UK, or indeed, governments overseas.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 12/10/2023 10:24:24 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
