answer text <p>In 2005, when it responded to the Constitution Committee’s report, Parliament and the Legislative Process, the Government was “not convinced that it would be appropriate to commit all bills which have not been scrutinised in draft to an evidence-taking committee after Second Reading but we are ready to consider this option in exceptional circumstances (and have done in the past).” <br> <br>I am aware that the idea that bills should normally be committed after Second Reading to a committee empowered to take evidence is under fresh consideration by the Constitution Committee as part of its current inquiry on the legislative process, stage 2 of which is covering the passage of legislation through Parliament. Written and oral evidence received as part of that inquiry is available here - https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/lords-select/constitution-committee/inquiries/parliament-2017/legislative-process/. I am looking forward to the Committee’s report and any recommendations it might make on this and other matters. The Procedure Committee will give it due consideration then.</p>

answer text <p>The Department requires franchised operators to cooperate with each other to ensure that overall, the needs of passengers are met. This includes a requirement to offer a reasonable pattern of service such that connections between services can be made. Where specific connections are identified as being particularly important, the Department may specify their inclusion in franchise bids. Where a connection is required, a balance needs to be struck between allowing sufficient time to change trains, including during delays and maintaining an acceptable end to end journey time.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The proposals outlined in the recent consultation, <em>Proposed changes to the statutory scheme to control the costs of branded health service medicines</em>, ensure that the scheme can continue to fulfil its purpose of safeguarding the financial position of the National Health Service, alongside the voluntary Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme. A copy of the consultation document is attached. The proposals set out in the recent consultation are aimed at constraining the cost of branded health service medicines to a level that balances the interests of patients, the NHS, industry and the taxpayer. The consultation’s impact assessment demonstrates significant overall benefits to patient health, driven by the reinvestment of any savings generated from the statutory scheme in NHS budgets. A copy of the impact assessment, <em>2018 Statutory Scheme for Branded Medicines Pricing</em>, is attached.</p><p>There is a wider framework in place to ensure the cost-effectiveness of medicines used in the NHS, most importantly, through National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) appraisals. This existing framework remains unchanged by the proposals set out in the consultation, with the NHS still required to fund all medicines approved through a NICE technology appraisal. The Department is committed to ensuring access to clinically and cost-effective medicines, and is working with NHS England and the pharmaceutical industry to support improvements in the speed and rate of access to new medicines for NHS patients.</p><p> </p>
