Clinics run by Marie Stopes International (MSI) continue to be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and approved by the Secretary of State to perform abortions. We are aware that CQC inspections raised serious concerns about compliance by MSI clinics with requirements set by the Department and the CQC. MSI are continuing to take a range of actions to address the issues identified in the CQC\u2019s reports. The CQC re-inspected MSI earlier this year and has made clear that they will not hesitate to take further action if necessary, in order to guarantee MSI meets the standard of care they expect and that its patients deserve. The Department continues to closely monitor the situation with particular regard to the statutory approval responsibilities of the Secretary of State.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4545", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord O'Shaughnessy"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-13T13:56:38.017Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Abortion: Northern Ireland"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what account they took of patient safety and the findings of recent Care Quality Commission reports that Marie Stopes International clinics had been in serious breach of safety guidelines, when deciding to extend the scheme under which free NHS abortions are made available to women from Northern Ireland to include the provision of free travel to those clinics.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL2659"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/780348", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/780348/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Public Health England (PHE) led an inquiry last year into the rises in drug-related deaths. The inquiry report, Understanding and preventing drug-related deaths: The report of a national expert working group to investigate drug-related death in England,<\/em> was published on 9 September 2016 and a copy is attached.<\/p> <\/p> The Government is investing over £16 billion over the current five-year spending review period for local authorities (LAs) to spend on public health. LAs are responsible for making decisions on how to spend their local allocation, but the public health grant conditions make it clear that they must have regard for the need to improve the take up of and outcomes from their drug and alcohol misuse treatment services. Whilst there is considerable variation across the country, with some regions showing large increases in recent years, PHE will continue to support LAs in delivering tailored, accessible and effective services where people stand the best chance of recovery.<\/p>"}
