answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2019 answer text <p>On the 21 November 2018 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) published revised guidance for employers on compliance with the existing Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 (<a href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/needs-assessment.htm" target="_blank">http://www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/needs-assessment.htm</a>). HSE developed this revised guidance with Mental Health First Aid-England to clarify and increase employer understanding that mental health should already be considered alongside physical health when undertaking a first aid needs assessment. The findings from this assessment will help direct employers to decide what measures they need to put in place. There are a range of actions that employers can undertake, but their choice should be guided by the outcomes of their first aid needs assessment and will depend on factors such as employee needs, the type of work and size of company.</p><p> </p><p>HSE has communicated this clarified guidance directly to key stakeholders involved in the design and delivery of first aid at work training courses.</p><p> </p><p>HSE is also taking opportunities to raise awareness through existing activity under its Health and Work programme, where preventing work-related mental ill health is a key priority. There is also related wider government activity led by the Joint DWP/DHSC Work and Health Unit to promote mental health core standards from the Lord Stevenson and Paul Farmer ‘Thriving at Work’ review published in October 2017, to help employers implement a comprehensive approach to managing mental health in the workplace.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 24/01/2019 14:51:40 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>Over the last several years police forces have estimated that mental health cases may represent between 20 and 40 percent of total demand. In some such cases, including for example those involving criminality or public safety, police involvement may well be necessary.</p><p>However, the Government has been clear that the police should not be expected to care on an ongoing basis for those who have committed no offence but who require professional healthcare. The Government is working closely with the police and health services to better understand the precise scale and nature of mental health demands, and how these may best be addressed.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 05/12/2018 16:42:11 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2018 answer text <p>The Government has made clear that a key priority through the negotiations will be to ensure that the United Kingdom remains one of the best places in the world for science and innovation, including on early phase research and clinical trials. Every Government department, including the Department of Health and Social Care, is planning to deliver a smooth exit under any scenario, which includes preparing the UK for the future economic partnership we hope to negotiate with the European Union, as well as the very unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached and the UK exits without a deal.</p><p> </p><p>The UK is already a preferred destination for EU and global clinical trials – where much early phase research is concentrated. The Government has been clear that it is in the interest of patients and the Life Sciences industry across Europe for the UK and EU to find a way to continue cooperation in the field of clinical trials, and for continued sharing of data and information, even if our precise relationship with the EU will by necessity change. The Government is committing to being as aligned with the new EU Clinical Trials Regulation as we possibly can be, subject to the outcome of the future relationship negotiation.</p><p> </p><p>The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) provides the support, expertise and facilities that the National Health Service needs to undertake world-leading early-phase research funded by the NIHR, and other public, charity and life sciences industry partners, by funding a range of infrastructure facilities. Through NIHR and its partners, and by close collaboration with the life sciences sector and industry, the Government will ensure that the UK remains one of the best places in the world for research, science and innovation.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 24/04/2018 11:23:03 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
