answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2018 answer text <p>Upper tier and unitary local authorities (LAs) in England have a duty to take the steps they believe are appropriate to improve the health of their local populations. LAs are directly accountable to their electorates for the way in which they discharge their duty and generally should decide for themselves how best to involve local residents in informing public health commissioning decisions.</p><p> </p><p>However, LAs with health improvement duties must establish Health and Wellbeing Boards that bring together representatives from the local National Health Service, public health, social care and beyond to agree joint strategic needs assessments for the area. Each of these LAs also has a corresponding Local Healthwatch, organisations that aim to give citizens a strong voice in influencing and challenging how health and social care services are provided within their locality. All Health and Wellbeing Boards must include a Local Healthwatch member.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 08/05/2018 16:01:25 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2018 answer text <p>The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has several workstreams relating to the consequences of leaving the European Union which are supported by £14 million of HM Treasury funding. These cover the regulatory regime for food and feed safety, and include food crime and incidents handling, import controls for food products and food safety risk assessment and risk management functions. The FSA has developed delivery plans for a range of negotiated and contingency outcomes and is working with other Government departments and the devolved administrations where there are issues of joint policy responsibility. Due to the sensitivity of these plans to the ongoing negotiations it would not be appropriate to publish a full list with total costs at this stage.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 08/05/2018 15:59:16 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

uin	139919
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2018 answer text <p>As set out under the 2012 Act, NHS England and NHS Improvement have different statutory functions and accountabilities in relation to monitoring and supporting of trusts and clinical commissioning groups. Within this legal framework, they have already taken some steps to ensure their regulatory functions are as streamlined as possible. This includes appointment of shared, associate non-executive directors to chair a joint finance group, as a key way to ensure overall financial balance across the National Health Service. NHS England and NHS Improvement recently announced the intention to go further from September, when there will be increased integration and alignment of national programmes and activities, as well as a move to seven integrated regional teams.</p><p> </p><p>These changes will enable NHS England and NHS Improvement to work even more effectively to support increasingly integrated local health systems and make best use of collective resources. The Government welcomes these steps to deliver more joined-up leadership of the NHS, within the legislative framework set by Parliament.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 08/05/2018 13:42:29 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
