question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to create facilities in the UK to manufacture drugs currently only manufactured abroad.
tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL2415
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2020 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to create facilities in the United Kingdom to manufacture drugs currently only manufactured abroad. There are 16,000 medicines on the market in the UK. Whilst some of these are manufactured in the UK, most are manufactured abroad. Where medicines are manufactured here, the active ingredients and excipients for those medicines may be manufactured abroad. It is not realistic to manufacture all 16,000 medicines and the active ingredients and excipients needed for these medicines in the UK.</p><p>The production of medicines is complex and highly regulated, and materials and processes must meet rigorous safety and quality standards. Supply problems can affect a wide range of medicines and can arise for various reasons, such as manufacturing issues, problems with the raw ingredients and batch failures. These problems arise regardless of where in the world the manufacture takes place.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 18/03/2020 15:22:44 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
