<\/p>
Due to increased demand for Erwinase and because PBL are manufacturing at capacity, until increases in capacity are brought into beneficial use there will be occasional stock-outs.<\/p>
<\/p>
The product is currently in stock in the United Kingdom. The Department has been informed, it is likely there will be a short stock-out in early February 2019 and then a further batch is planned to be released to Jazz Pharmaceuticals, who are responsible for the packaging/distribution and allocation of worldwide product supply, anticipated to reach the UK market by mid-February 2019 which should last until the end of March 2019.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department and Public Health England (PHE) are in close contact with, and have been kept informed by the PBL management of short periods of interrupted supply. PBL have and will be implementing a series of initiatives to increase capacity and better supply the market in both the short and long term. PBL are fully aware of the consequences that the unavailability of Erwinase has on patients and are absolutely committed to working with all involved to resolve any issues and be able to supply this critical medicine.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department and PHE will continue to monitor the situation closely.<\/p>"}

Universal Credit claims in the Welsh language is available to anyone making a new claim in Wales now that roll-out is complete.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department\u2019s Welsh Language Scheme also offers legacy claimants the ability to be communicated with, orally or written, via the medium of Welsh; they do not have to wait to be moved over to Universal Credit via managed migration to take advantage of Welsh language services.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our internal data suggests that 290 Universal Credit claimants (or 1.6% of new claims made in Wales since 5 December 2018) have declared a Welsh language preference.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have agreed to pilot the initial approach to migration slowly and gradually, but (as set out in Written Statement HCWS1243<\/a> on 11 January 2019) this does not affect the timeline for the overall delivery of Universal Credit.<\/p>"}

In England, the initial cost of training a midwife is paid by the Government. Part of this is in the form of student loan outlay, which the student accesses for tuition fees and maintenance loans from the Student Loans Company.<\/p>
<\/p>
The following table shows indicative Government costs for each year of training a midwife who lives outside of London and away from home. It shows the maximum possible amount of each payment type available. Midwifery courses typically last three years.<\/p>
<\/p>
Additional funding to students may also be available through the Student Loans Company and the Learning Support Fund. This is available to those with adult and child dependants, and for those in exceptional hardship. They may also be eligible for reimbursement of additional travel costs to attend clinical placements.<\/p>
<\/p>
The amount shown in the table is paid by the Department directly to hospital trusts for a student\u2019s clinical placement.<\/p>
<\/p>
The amount paid back by the student depends on how much they earn during their career. If the loan is not fully repaid after 30 years it is written off. For example, once a student enters the workforce they pay their loans back at a rate of 9% of their earnings over the repayment threshold of £25,000. This equates to £15 a month for a student earning £27,000 a year.<\/p>
<\/p>
Systems in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are the responsibilities of the devolved administrations in each of those countries.<\/p>
