However, it does not promote the reuse of medicines that have left the pharmacy and been returned to a pharmacy by patients, as it is not possible to guarantee the quality of a returned medicine on physical inspection alone. When medicines are returned from patients’ homes, there is no way of knowing how the medicines have been stored or handled.</p><p> </p><p>The Royal Pharmaceutical Society publication, ‘Medicines Ethics and Practice - The professional guide for pharmacists (July 2017)’ states, “patients should be advised that unused, unwanted medicines should be returned to a pharmacy for safe disposal”</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 24/04/2018 15:32:09 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2018 answer text <p>It is up to schools to decide what training their staff need in order to provide the right support to pupils. According to the Government’s ‘Supporting Mental Health in Schools and Colleges survey’, 90% of schools offered staff training on supporting pupils' mental health and wellbeing (47% all staff, 43% at least some staff) and 49% had a dedicated lead for mental health. The survey can be viewed here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/664855/Transforming_children_and_young_people_s_mental_health_provision.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/664855/Transforming_children_and_young_people_s_mental_health_provision.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The green paper ‘Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision’, which is also attached, sets out proposals to improve support for schools to identify those pupils who need mental health support, backed with over £300 million of funding. As part of this, the Government will incentivise schools to put in place Designated Senior Leads (DSLs) for mental health, and will provide training on how to promote and support good mental health and wellbeing. DSLs will be supported by new, clinically supervised Mental Health Support Teams based in or near schools, which will provide support for those with mild to moderate needs, as well as better links to specialist NHS services for those who need them. The green paper can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/transforming-children-and-young-peoples-mental-health-provision-a-green-paper" target="_blank">https://<br> www.gov.uk/government/consultations/transforming-children-and-young-peoples-mental-health-provision-a-green-paper</a>.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 27/04/2018 10:35:26 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
