answer text <p>Since the launch of the United Kingdom-wide Taking Organ Transplantation to 2020 Strategy in July 2013, organ donation rates have increased by 7% and transplant rates by 6% mainly through a strengthening of the donation infrastructure (e.g. increased specialist nurses, improved retrieval arrangements). In 2016-17, the UK had the highest ever deceased donor and transplant rates with 1,413 deceased donors and 3,710 transplants and there are now 24 million people on the Organ Donor Register.</p><p> </p><p>However, three people still die every day in need of an organ transplant. We have, therefore, announced that we will launch a 12 week consultation, before the end of this year, on increasing rates of organ donation, including a new “opt out” system of consent for England. The consultation will seek views on:</p><p>- How to increase rates of organ donation, particularly from BAME communities;</p><p>- How the issue of consent should be managed within the NHS;</p><p>- How technology could help people to discuss their preferences with family; and</p><p>- How opt out could work in practice, the safeguards needed and how families could be supported.</p><p>The Government will carefully consult, listen and take account of the views from people from a diverse range of ethnic, religious and cultural communities when considering any changes to the law.</p><p> </p><p>We are still committed to campaigns to raise awareness, and encourage families and friends to discuss their wishes on organ donation.</p>

answer text <p>Suppliers are only required to demonstrate that they meet the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials for those contracts involving the transfer of sensitive data, or digital delivery. These requirements are set out in Procurement Policy Note – Cyber Essentials Scheme: Action Note 09/14 (25 May 2016) which can be obtained at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0914-cyber-essentials-scheme-certification" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0914-cyber-essentials-scheme-certification</a></p><p>and are transposed into the Department’s procurement policy. There is no general requirement for all suppliers to achieve Cyber Essentials certification and the Department does not hold general data on which of its suppliers have achieved Cyber Essentials centrally.</p><p> </p><p>The Department commonly uses G-Cloud and Digital Services Framework for the procurement of in-scope contracts. These schemes are put in place by Government Digital Service and include comprehensive cyber security obligations. Suppliers operating under these schemes are exempt from having to conform with Cyber Essentials.</p>

answer text <p>The National Guardian’s Office was established in April 2016 and Dr Henrietta Hughes was appointed as National Guardian in October 2016. The National Guardian’s role is to support whistleblowers in the National Health Service and improve reporting culture. The National Guardian advises and supports a network of individuals within NHS trusts, appointed as ‘Freedom to Speak Up Guardians’, who are responsible for developing a culture of openness in NHS trusts and NHS foundations trusts in England. The National Guardian also shares good practice, reports on national or common themes and identifies any barriers that are preventing the NHS from having a truly safe and open culture. The National Guardian is independent in her ability to make recommendations.</p><p> </p><p>The National Guardian’s Office has advised the Department of the following:</p><p> </p><p>The National Guardian’s Office has received two complaints dealt with through its published complaints procedure.</p><p> </p><p>The total operating budget (pay and non-pay) for the National Guardian’s Office in 2016-17 was £993,044. The total operating budget (pay and non-pay) for 2017-18 is £992,409.</p><p> </p><p>A 12-month pilot of the National Guardian’s Office case review process was launched in June 2017. So far, two case reviews have commenced. We expect that findings from both these reviews will be published before the end of the year. Further requests for case reviews are being considered.</p><p> </p><p>The National Guardian’s Office currently employs eight full-time staff; in addition the National Guardian works four days a week, practising as a general practitioner one day a week.</p>
