uin	39261
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2016 answer text <p>The allocations for primary medical care announced in January 2016 are based on a statistical model of workload which takes into account differences due to the age and sex of the population, differences associated with deprivation, and the higher workload associated with new registrations. There are also adjustments for differences in the unavoidable costs of general practitioner practice staff across the country and for unmet need.</p><p>The model determines target allocations, while pace of change policy sets how quickly actual allocations move over time towards target allocations. The pace of change policy announced in January for the period 2016-17 to 2020-21 was that no clinical commissioning group’s area is further than 5% below target by 2018-19 for primary medical care allocations.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/06/2016 11:15:11 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department is taking to improve diagnosis levels for fibromyalgia; and what steps his Department is taking to increase training for GPs on diagnosis of that condition.
tabling member constituency	Upper Bann
tabling member printed	David Simpson
uin	39249
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2016 answer text <p>Diagnosing fibromyalgia can be difficult as there is no specific diagnostic test that can be used, and the symptoms can vary from person to person. Diagnosis is usually made by taking a medical history, checking symptoms and carrying out a physical examination. Blood tests, x-rays and other scans may be used to rule out medical conditions with similar symptoms to fibromyalgia.</p><p>The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) curriculum includes training in musculoskeletal conditions, and as such, general practitioner (GP) training can include fibromyalgia. A key component of a trainee GP’s final assessment, alongside the Clinical Skills Assessment and Workplace Based Assessment, is the applied knowledge test (AKT). The AKT is a summative assessment of the knowledge base that underpins independent general practice in the United Kingdom within the context of the National Health Service. The content guide for the RCGP, which serves to prepare trainees for the test, includes a specific reference to a required knowledge of fibromyalgia. The AKT content guide can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.rcgp.org.uk/training-exams/mrcgp-exams-overview/~/media/D96EB4E0188E4355BCC9221B55859B08.ashx" target="_blank">www.rcgp.org.uk/training-exams/mrcgp-exams-overview/~/media/D96EB4E0188E4355BCC9221B55859B08.ashx</a></p><p>A range of support exists to help GPs identify the signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia in primary care. This includes the Map of Medicine, an online evidence-based guide and clinical decision support tool which has a fibromyalgia and chronic pain pathway to support diagnosis and referral, an e-learning course developed by the RCGP and Arthritis Research UK on musculoskeletal care, including fibromyalgia, and a medical guide developed by the Fibromyalgia Association UK for health professionals.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 13/06/2016 16:25:57 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2016 answer text <p>From April 2014 to April 2016, the Government has invested £175 million in developing innovative approaches to extend access to general practice through the Prime Minister’s GP Access Fund which has included testing, adoption, and evaluation of:</p><p> </p><p>― new types of consultation such as phone, video and online consultations;</p><p>― online pre-referral diagnosis tools; and</p><p>― telehealth, telecare and healthy living apps.</p><p> </p><p>During 2017/18<ins class="ministerial"> and 2018/19</ins>, £171 million will be made available <del class="ministerial">to</del> <ins class="ministerial">from </ins>clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to enable practices to upscale and implement measures tested through the Access Fund.</p><p> </p><p>A further £1 billion multiyear investment has been committed via the Estates and Technology Transformation Fund from April 2015 to April 2019, to help GP practices go further and faster to increase the use of technology and develop the primary care estate. Funding will be aligned with local digital roadmaps priorities and will support technology led improvement and innovation which improve patient and clinician experience of services, and access to primary care.</p><p> </p><p>The ‘General Practice Forward View’, released in April 2016, announced a commitment to greater use of technology. This includes an increase of over 18% in allocations to CCGs for provision of IT services and technology for general practice, alongside revised funding arrangements for GP IT in 2016-18. This will allow CCGs sufficient local flexibility to commission and procure GP IT services to meet local need. There will also be an additional £45 million multiyear national programme to stimulate uptake of online consultation technology for every practice.</p><p> </p><p>The National Information Board also has a programme of work known as Transforming General Practice which will use technology to free GPs from time consuming administrative tasks and provide patients with online services.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/06/2016 11:08:23 question first ministerially corrected 16/06/2016 10:28:13 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt previous answer version 2969 answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
