Jon Cruddas

(2) how many (a) primary and (b) secondary schools have arrangements for delivering emergency injectable adrenaline (epinephrine) in case of an allergic reaction. [158818]

Margaret Hodge

Schools are not required to provide this information to the Department. The arrangements for managing such issues in schools are determined at local level. However, the Department, jointly with the Department of Health, has produced 'Supporting pupils with medical needs—a good practice guide' and Circular 14/96 'Supporting pupil:, with medical needs in school', in 1996. The guide includes a section on anaphylaxis, with information about emergency adrenaline injection. These documents were written to help schools draw up policies on managing medication in schools and to put in place effective management systems to support individual pupils with medical needs, as well as to set out the legal background.
