answer text <p>There has been an increase in vaping and e-cigarette use amongst children aged 11 to 15 years old, as shown in the latest National Health Service Smoking Drinking and Drug Use survey data, which is available in an online-only format. This found that in 2021, 9% of pupils aged 11 to 15 years old were current vapers, compared to 6% in 2018, and 4% were regular users, compared to 2% in 2018. We already have an age limit on sales of vapes, with the Nicotine Inhaling Products (Age of Sale and Proxy Purchasing) Regulations 2015 making it an offence to sell vapes to persons aged under 18 and for an adult to purchase them on behalf of a person aged under 18.</p> more like this

answer text <p>No estimate has been made. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has not received any reports to indicate that Second Sight have withdrawn or failed to provide product support to existing patients. Additionally, NHS England does not routinely commission products supplied by Second Sight.</p><p>No assessment of the risk of medical device companies collapsing had been made. While there is an obligation on manufacturers to confirm the safety and performance of the devices throughout their lifetime, if a company is sold, the liability for these post-market requirements is usually a matter for the contract between parties. The MHRA is considering how post-market obligations on manufacturers can be strengthened in the forthcoming amendments to the Medical Devices Regulations 2002.</p><p>When contracting for the supply of medical devices, due diligence is undertaken on the financial standing of a supplier by procurement teams to gain assurance of the supplier’s ability to maintain supply in line with contractual and regulatory obligations. Patients remain in the care of prescribing clinicians who will make decisions on treatment and care in the event that supply of a product or service is disrupted. The Department monitors supply threats through engagement with suppliers and trade associations and uses intelligence to identify potential disruptions.</p>

answer text <p>After 16 years as a fugitive from justice, Ratko Mladić was arrested in May 2011 for crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 until 1995. His trial commenced a year later and considered testimony from almost 600 witnesses and just under 10,000 exhibits. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for genocide, crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of war in November 2017, six and a half years after his arrest. We agree that justice should be dispensed as expeditiously as possible while ensuring defendants' receive a fair trial. The UK participates in regular meetings of the Security Council's Informal Working Group on International Tribunals, which deals with a range of issues relating to the functioning of the UN Tribunals, including considering evaluation reports, exchanging views with Tribunal Principals and reviewing potential efficiencies in the operation of the Tribunals.</p> more like this
