Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, on how many occasions a Marketing Authorisation Holder of a pharmaceutical product has notified (a) the National Homecare Medicines Committee and (b) individual clinical referring centres of a decline in homecare medicines services to a level that could be considered a risk to patient safety in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement.

NHS England’s four national frameworks for Homecare Medicine Services do not have a direct contractual relationship with the Marketing Authorisation Holder; the relationship is directly with the homecare provider. Therefore, this information is not available, and is not held by the National Homecare Medicines Committee or NHS England.
