  9. I would like to request the following information: Re “The Commission on Human Medicines CHM advises ministers on the safety, efficacy and quality of medicinal products: - As the CSM was replaced by CHM during October 2005 my request may be held in CSM documents. Please can you supply all the information you supplied to minsters on the safety and efficacy regarding the following drugs prior to the Anne Begg Co-proxamol debates in parliament during 2005 and 2007. • Co-proxamol • Oxycodone • Buprenorphine • Codeine • Tramadol In my 'Annotation for Reference' the FDA report clearly shows: - The FDA report produced between 1969 and 2005 there were 10671 more adverse event reports, 3256 more overdose reports, 437 more suicide reports, 5041 more abuse & dependence reports, and the total number of death reports increased by 5059 when Oxycodone was compared with Propoxyphene (Co-proxamol)! The highest number of all adverse events was reported for oxycodone followed by tramadol. Despite this information being available prior to the announcement of the ban on Co-proxamol (2005), the MHRA continued issuing additional 'Marketing Authorisations’ for Oxycodone, Fentanyl and Buprenorphine'. Between 2005 and 2015 MHRA issued 298 additional ‘Marketing Authorisations’ for the more dangerous opiates. MA Increases: Oxycodone +138, Fentanyl (Including Fentanyl Citrate) +75 and Buprenorphine + 85. As CSM/CHM are required to inform and advise Ministers on the safety, efficacy and quality of drugs what advice was given to the Minister regarding these drugs which replaced Co-proxamol?

  10. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please provide the following recorded information held by your department regarding assurance processes for software based data erasure of end of life IT equipment. For clarity, this request relates solely to software based data destruction. Please exclude physical destruction methods such as shredding, crushing, degaussing or disintegration. 1. Please confirm whether departmental policy, contractual terms or internal procedures require an explicit outcome based warranty or guarantee confirming that personal data has been rendered irretrievable through software based erasure, whether carried out internally or by an external provider. 2. Where software based data destruction is performed internally, what recorded evidential assurance does the department rely upon to conclude that the final data state is irretrievable? 3. Where software based data destruction is performed by a third party provider, does the department hold recorded information demonstrating that any warranty or assurance provided explicitly extends to the software erasure method used and its claimed effectiveness? If so, please confirm the recorded nature of that verification. 4. Where no explicit outcome based warranty is required or provided, what recorded form of evidential assurance does the department rely upon to conclude that software based erasure has rendered personal data irretrievable? I am not requesting technical configuration detail, security sensitive information or supplier specific vulnerabilities. I am seeking confirmation of the assurance model relied upon for software based data destruction.
