answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>The Department has asked the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to update its clinical guideline on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The draft guideline, which was published for consultation on 6 September, provides evidence based recommendations on the diagnosis and management of ADHD in children, young people and adults.</p><p> </p><p>The draft guideline recognises that this condition is less likely to be diagnosed in girls and women or that they may be given an incorrect diagnosis as they are more likely to present with symptoms other than hyperactivity. The guideline advises practitioners to be alert in such circumstances to the possibility of ADHD.</p><p> </p><p>We expect clinical commissioning groups to take account of clinical guidelines published by NICE when commissioning services for their local populations. Whilst clinical guidelines are not mandatory, adherence to them will support improvements in the quality of care and services.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 19/09/2017 09:53:22 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2017 answer text <p>The new congenital heart disease (CHD) standards were approved by the NHS England Board in July 2015. The paper which NHS England’s CHD review team submitted to the Board at that time set out that:</p><p> </p><p>“We found no published evidence on the effects of proximity of other services so the proposed standards are based on expert opinion. Our clinical advisers strongly advocated co-location with other paediatric services, though they recognised that not everyone agrees. They considered that while responsiveness was one important factor, it was not the only thing that mattered. Delivering these services effectively requires the input of the wider paediatric multidisciplinary team, and the interaction between these teams on a daily basis, when co-located, is considered to be of significant benefit to patients.”</p><p> </p><p>The full paper can be found on NHS England’s website at:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Item-4-CHD-Report.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Item-4-CHD-Report.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 19/01/2017 16:39:51 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
