answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>The drug cost to the National Health Service for a one year supply of Apomorphine for a patient with Parkinson's Disease is estimated to be in the region of £5,300 and £9,000, based on the usual daily dose of 3 – 30mg. However, the maximum daily is 100mg, so the annual cost for some patient’s treatment may be higher.</p><p>We have no estimate of the cost of manufacture. We are not aware of any particular issues relating to the manufacture of this drug. Pharmaceutical companies participate in either the voluntary pharmaceutical price regulation scheme (PPRS) or the statutory medicines price regulation scheme, both of which regulate the cost of medicines to the NHS. Products covered by the statutory scheme are subject to a 15% cut to their list price. Companies in the PPRS pay a percentage of sales to the Government when growth in NHS spending on medicines exceeds an agreed level. NHS purchasers may also negotiate discounts with pharmaceutical companies in addition to national price regulation.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 19/07/2017 15:12:09 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>Border Force has imposed 3,319 civil penalties so far, during the 2014/15 financial year. These penalties have been imposed on both hauliers and drivers.</p><p>Civil Penalties are not imposed on illegal migrants themselves who are handed to the French authorities for processing following detection by Border Force and its contractors. The Civil Penalty Scheme only allows for penalties to be levied on hauliers and drivers. Earlier this year Immigration Minister James Brokenshire held an inaugural summit to promote lorry security and tackle the impact of illegal immigration on the haulage security. The Minister has since hosted a series of roundtable events with haulier groups.</p><p>It is important that vehicles are secured properly to help mitigate the threat of illegal immigration. The UK provides clear guidance on lorry security under the Civil Penalty Codes of Practice which many responsible drivers and hauliers take steps to follow. This is also an international issue and it is vital we ensure drivers from across the other countries maintain the same standards as ours. In 2013/14 only 7% of fines issued were to British drivers. We need to ensure that the rest of the world's freight transport industry is keeping up with the UK. The UK is held up in Europe as a leading example of best practice and we need to get that message to our European and international counterparts.</p><p>On 14 July the Home Secretary announced in Parliament the creation of a new secure zone at the port of Calais for UK bound lorries. This will provide a secure waiting area for 230 vehicles - the equivalent of removing a two-and-a-half mile queue from the approaching road. This should transform protection for lorries and their drivers - removing them from the open road where they can become targets for migrants attempting to board their vehicles.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 20/07/2015 12:34:38 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2014 answer text <p>The focus of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative is on conflict and post-conflict countries emerging from recent violence. We actively consider requests for support from conflict affected states where the legacy of conflict related sexual violence is a continuing threat to peace and stability. <br><br>The recent Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict set in motion a series of practical steps and commitments to ensure that survivors of sexual violence in conflict can access justice and receive the long-term support that they require. In support of this the Government announced £6m of new UK funding for survivors. <br><br>From hereon we will be working with local and international partners to implement the International Protocol on the documentation and investigation of sexual violence in conflict, launched at the Global Summit, in both the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Bosnia and Herzegovina.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 21/07/2014 11:47:04 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
