That this House welcomes the recent Government publication of the Green Paper, Pathways to work: Helping people into employment, and its commitment to introduce ground breaking rehabilitation programmes; considers that successful support and vocational programmes, such as those run by Rehab UK play a vital part in helping people who are living with an acquired brain injury get back to work, thereby increasing their social independence, their quality of life and making long term savings to the Exchequer; is concerned that a lack of support from statutory agencies is creating severe funding problems which are likely to impact on existing rehabilitation services available to those who sustain an acquired brain injury; is therefore very concerned to note that Rehab UK is faced with serious funding problems which may force closure of its current rehabilitation centres when, in order to adequately address the needs of the growing brain injured population in England and Wales, as many as fifty similar centres are required; believes that there must be improved co-ordination and communication between local agencies and Government departments; and urges the Government to undertake a review of the provision of acquired brain injury rehabilitation services within the UK with a view to introducing a national funding structure ensuring that the burden of financial support for rehabilitation and vocational support services does not rest entirely with the charitable and voluntary sector.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 1 November 2000
That this House notes that the Draft Food Supplements Directive was broadly welcomed by United Kingdom consumers, manufacturers and retailers as a step to harmonise the European market; notes with deep concern that amendments now being promoted in Europe may undermine the provision it makes for allowing a liberal market based upon the principle of safety; further fears that uncertainty over this interpretation by the Commission and an over-cautious scientific analysis of the safety of vitamins and minerals could lead to unnecessarily low limits being set on the vitamin and mineral content of safety dietary supplements in the United Kingdom and Europe; and urges her Majesty's Government to redouble its efforts to achieve an outcome that will not disadvantage millions of consumers, damage the economic prospects of the natural health product industry and undermine public health.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 19 July 2000
That this House notes the Report by Sir John Mortimer's Advisory Group on The Future of the Vacant Plinth in Trafalgar Square; notes that a statue to commemorate the role women played in World War II was the second choice of members of the general public; notes the conclusion of the report regarding use of the plinth for a rotating exhibition of modern sculpture; notes also the conclusion that the Advisory Group felt that there should be such a tribute, but that Trafalgar Square is not the best place for it; and that it should be in a park or a more open space where is could be more easily enjoyed; and requests the Government to provide a statue to commemorate the role women played in World War II either in Trafalgar Square or elsewhere in a prominent position.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 27 June 2000
That this House congratulates all those scientists and technicians who have worked so hard in 16 countries across the world, especially the group at the Sanger Centre, Cambridge, for completing their historic initial work on sequencing the Human Genome; and urges the UK Government, the Wellcome Trust and all others engaged in funding this research to continue to do so.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 24 May 2000
That this House notes with interest the adoption by the European Commission of a proposal for a directive on food supplements; observes that the purpose of the directive is to remove barriers to trade in vitamin and mineral supplements throughout Europe; welcomes the principle underlying the provisions of the directive, namely that consumers should be able to purchase vitamin and mineral supplements on general retail sale, provided that they are safe; notes that the proposed directive has the support in principle of the Health Food Manufacturers Association, Consumers for Health Choice and the National Association of Health Stores; invites Her Majesty's Government to continue to use its influence in Europe to ensure that this liberal but safety-based approach is maintained at the heart of the legislation during the coming debates, whilst at the same time working to remedy some of the other defects in the detail of the directive which do need to be addressed; and welcomes the exhibition in the Upper Waiting Hall mounted by the Health Food Manufacturers Association in the week commencing 5th June explaining the role of a wide range of health foods and natural health products in promoting a healthier nation.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 9 March 2000
That this House notes that physician-assisted-suicide advocate, Professor Sheila McLean, stated in April 1996 in the Voluntary Euthanasia Society Scotland Newsletter that the routes taken by courts in judgments allowing the withdrawal of treatment, including food and fluid, to end the lives of those in a persistent vegetative state and other patients 'endorse a form of non-voluntary euthanasia'; notes that she was a member of the drafting committee of the British Medical Association Guidelines on Withholding and Withdrawing Life-Prolonging Medical Treatment which advocates extending the withdrawal of tube feeding to a range of patients who are not in PVS and who are not dying; regrets that the Government's report, Making Decisions, endorses much of the BMA guidelines, which, if adopted, would serve to consolidate further the practice of medical killing by omission; further notes that in Scotland, the Deputy Minister for Community Care, Iain Gray, has said that any doctor who follows the BMA guidelines on non-PVS patients such as those who have suffered a stroke would be open to criminal prosecution; welcomes the Minister's statement that the Incapable Adults (Scotland) Bill 'makes no distinction between different means of delivering food and water'; further welcomes the Minister's clarification that 'nothing in the Bill will permit a patient to be denied basic care, or to be starved, dehydrated or otherwise mistreated'; and calls on the Government to adopt a similar position and withdraw its opposition to the Medical Treatment (Prevention of Euthanasia) Bill and to honour its pledges to oppose euthanasia.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 6 March 2000
