Irrespective of where residents live in Buckinghamshire, every patient with an urgent care need will be able to access same-day primary care (in or out of hours). This will not necessarily be face-to-face and with a general practitioner (GP), but could be online with advice, telephone consultations and with other members of the primary care team. Work is already underway to deliver technological solutions, such as online consultations, in 2019/20. Improved access and seven-day working have been in place since October 2018 across BOB, offering routine appointments in the evening and at weekends.</p><p>In August 2019, 82.61% of general practice appointments in the Buckinghamshire CCG region took place within two weeks of booking.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 01/11/2019 12:23:11 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2019 answer text <p>The law was changed on 1 November 2018 to allow clinicians on the General Medical Council’s ‘Specialist Register’ to prescribe cannabis-based products for medicinal use, where clinically appropriate and in the best interest of patients. The Government has been clear that decisions on whether to prescribe these products must remain a clinical one.</p><p> </p><p>Following a meeting in Parliament with the families of patients seeking access to medicinal cannabis, my Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care asked NHS England and NHS Improvement to undertake a rapid process review into any barriers to prescribing on the National Health Service, where clinically appropriate. The review report is now published and the Department is working closely with NHS England and NHS Improvement and other delivery partners to implement the report’s recommendations. This includes promoting more high-quality research through the publicly funded National Institute for Health Research to develop the evidence base and exploring alternative studies to help children and young adults with treatment resistance epilepsy who are currently receiving cannabis-based medicines. We have also contacted all producers of cannabis-based products, known to have an interest in supplying the United Kingdom market, to encourage and support research applications to develop the evidence base further.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 01/11/2019 12:17:20 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL417
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>The rising costs of clinical negligence are a concern and something we are committed to tackling, given that National Health Service funds spent on clinical negligence are resources not available for front line care. In 2018/19 total clinical negligence provision was £83 billion (Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts provision was £77.6 billion).</p><p>NHS Resolution has a responsibility to settle justified claims fairly and promptly and defend unjustified claims to secure NHS resources. Each case must be considered on its own merits and it is important that a proper investigation is undertaken. NHS Resolution aims to get to the right answer as quickly as possible in every case and to help resolve claims sooner, and without the need for court proceedings. To support this NHS Resolution launched a new mediation service in December 2016.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 04/11/2019 15:03:42 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
