answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2021 answer text <p>NHS England and NHS Improvement have been communicating regularly with general practitioners (GPs) to remind them of the importance of managing their lists of clinically extremally vulnerable patients. These letters link to information from NHS Digital on how GPs can apply high risk flags on an individual basis which will add patients to the Shielded Patient List, or to remove patients from the list if clinically appropriate. A high risk flag against an individual will prompt vaccination communication so that they are able to book a vaccine through the booking service or to be contacted by their GP in line with the Joint Committee on Vaccine and Immunisation prioritisation list. NHS Digital also runs a weekly search to add individuals automatically to the Shielded Patient List that they can see meet the criteria.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 09/02/2021 15:15:02 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 79064 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2021 answer text <p>We are working with NHS Digital, mental health providers and partner organisations to improve the collection of data in the mental health services data set on people referred to secondary mental health services for anxiety and those who self-harm whilst an inpatient. We also fund the Multicentre for Self-Harm to provide representative and reliable data on self-harm in England.</p><p>Data on suicide registrations by coroners is collected by the Office for National Statistics and there is a time lag due to the length of time it can take to hold an inquest. Public Health England is piloting a national real-time surveillance system to monitor suspected suicide, by collecting early real time data which can be used to identify patterns of risk and causal factors, to inform national and local responses. HM Treasury has announced £1.2million funding to help support the development of the national system.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 09/02/2021 15:07:34 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
