answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is responsible for regulating all medicines and medical devices in the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>Currently, a dermal filler may be regulated either as a general product, a medicine or a medical device, depending on its composition and intended use. From May 2020 all dermal fillers, irrespective of their composition and intended use, will be regulated as medical devices under Annex XVI of the Medical Device Regulations (EU 2017/745). The Regulations will significantly strengthen the quality assurance and safety of dermal fillers and ensure a consistent legal status of these products on the UK market. This will lead to a stronger market surveillance of these products.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to improving the safety of cosmetic procedures through better training for practitioners, and clear information so that people can make informed decisions about their care. The growth in non-surgical treatments increases the need for consumer protection and we are currently working with stakeholders to strengthen the regulation of cosmetic procedures.</p><p> </p><p>We urge anyone seeking a cosmetic procedure to take the time to find a reputable, insured and appropriately qualified practitioner who is either subject to statutory regulation or on a voluntary register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 15/04/2019 12:48:03 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>All regulated healthcare professionals are required to have in place an indemnity arrangement which provides appropriate cover for their practice. The cover can be an insurance policy, an indemnity arrangement, or a combination of both. The Department has recently consulted on appropriate clinical negligence cover for all regulated healthcare practitioners. The responses are being analysed and a response will be issued in due course. There are no plans to introduce a requirement for indemnity arrangements in relation to the provision of aesthetic procedures by non-regulated healthcare professionals. Insurance products are financial services and are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulatory Authority.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 15/04/2019 12:49:25 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities and for small businesses across the UK. This is why the Government committed to safeguard the post office network and protect existing rural services. The overall number of post offices across the UK remains at its most stable in decades with over 11,500 branches thanks to significant Government investment of over £2 billion since 2010.</p><p> </p><p>The courts are the right place to hear and resolve what are long-standing issues between some postmasters and the Post Office. While this matter rests with the courts it is inappropriate for the Government to comment further. The legal defence of this litigation and the costs involved in doing so are being handled by Post Office Ltd, which operates as an independent, commercial business within the strategic parameters set by Government.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 16/04/2019 16:10:29 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
