Written question asked by Lord Morris of Manchester (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Howe (Conservative) on Monday, 28 May 2012.
Drugs: Thalidomide
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what further support they intend to provide for victims of thalidomide, following the conclusion of the pilot three-year grant in April 2012.[HL381]
- Answer
-
The Thalidomide grant is a three-year pilot, running from April 2010 until March 2013, to explore how the health needs of Thalidomide survivors can best be met in the longer term and how such a scheme might be applied to other small groups of geographically dispersed patients with specialised needs.
Officials met with members of the National Advisory Council (NAC) to the Thalidomide Trust in June 2010, to discuss their evaluation of the first year. The Government expect to receive the evaluation of the second year of the pilot study shortly, and will look to meet with the NAC to discuss that report. We will consider the future of the grant further into the pilot.
