HC Deb 30 April 2004 vol 420 cc1355-6W
Sandra Gidley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made towards developing a medication review curriculum for(a) providers of education and (b) those seeking training on medication reviews; and if he will make a statement. [168708]

Mr. Hutton

The Department is not responsible for setting curricula for health professional training; that is rightly the responsibility of the statutory and professional bodies. However, we do share a commitment with those bodies that all health professionals are trained so that they have the skills and knowledge to deliver a high quality health service to all groups of the population with whom they deal.
