To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he is taking to encourage children and pregnant women to eat more eggs.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he is taking to encourage children and pregnant women to eat more eggs.
Eggs can make a useful contribution to intakes of protein, vitamins and minerals within a balanced diet. The Government promotes a healthy balanced diet as visually depicted in the eatwell plate. The eatwell plate depicts the types and proportions of the main food groups we should eat, one of which is meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein.
The eatwell plate applies to most people, including pregnant women. Between the ages of two and five, children should gradually move towards eating the same foods as the rest of the family, in the proportions shown on the eatwell plate.
The eatwell plate is widely used within Government, the school curriculum, as well as by education, food industry and charities. It is promoted through the NHS Choices website and forms the basis of the Change4Life social marketing healthy eating messages.
It is not so much who provides the prison accommodation that matters, but what they provide and the support that goes with it. My hon.

Just for the record and for clarity—for my slowness—first, is the Minister saying that that will be offered to all new prisoners on reception? Secondly, how will that assessment be made?

The assessment should apply to all prisoners, so that we understand what someone’s learning needs might be. As I have said, it is difficult to compel anyone above the age of 18 to engage in any education courses, but it is important that we understand what a prisoner’s learning needs...

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the adequacy of warnings about the dangers of taking medication during pregnancy. [HL6370]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the adequacy of warnings about the dangers of taking medication during pregnancy. [HL6370]
Few medicines are completely free from side effects, and use of any medicine in pregnancy requires a careful evaluation of the benefits and risks to the woman, taking into account any possible effects on the unborn child. Information on the risks of a medicine in pregnancy is included in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) for healthcare professionals and the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL). The British National Formulary, which is provided to all prescribers, has a prominent warning which states that drugs should be prescribed in pregnancy only if the expected benefits to the mother are greater than the risk to the foetus and that all medicines should be avoided if possible in the first trimester.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) continually monitors medicines in clinical use for any possible adverse effects in pregnancy, using a range of well-established approaches. The United Kingdom's Yellow Card scheme collects reports from healthcare professionals and patients of suspected adverse reactions to medicines and is a proven way of identifying new or changing risks in real world use. We have recently updated our Yellow Card form to increase and improve reporting of suspected adverse reactions to medicines taken during pregnancy. These reports will improve our understanding of a medicine's effect during pregnancy and inform treatment decisions to maximise the benefit and minimise the risk to the mother and baby. Any information on a new or changing risk to arise is assessed and the SPC and PIL are updated where appropriate.
