answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>As in preparation for 29 March and 12 April, our ‘no deal’ contingency plans for 31 October cover the National Health Service, social care and the independent sector and covers all medicines, medical devices and clinical consumables, supplies for clinical trials, vaccines and countermeasures, and organs and tissues for transplants.</p><p>Specialist nutritional products including prescription foods and synthetic protein supplements are an important part of patient care throughout the health and social care sector. In recognition of this we have made this a specific area of focus within our preparedness arrangements.</p><p>The Department has continued to work closely with the devolved administrations, industry trade bodies including the British Specialist Nutrition Association and suppliers, the NHS and other key stakeholders. Prior to 29 March, the Department analysed the supply chains of 12,300 medicines, close to half a million product lines of medical devices and clinical consumables, vaccines used in national and local programmes, and essential non-clinical goods on which the health and care system relies. These analyses and assessments have been updated where necessary and will continue to be refined while a ‘no deal’ European Union exit remains a possibility. This work has informed our plans.</p><p>We are asking suppliers to analyse their supply chains and to make alternative plans if they anticipate disruption, including rerouting to alternative ports or using airfreight where necessary. Our contingency measures aim to support industry-led measures and, where required, act as a ‘last resort’ to be used only when a supplier’s alternative arrangements encounter difficulties, to ensure uninterrupted supply.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 15/07/2019 15:52:46 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>In England, services for patients with Phenylketonuria are provided via two routes, nationally commissioned through the National Health Service and through local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), for example for food supplements.</p><p>The Government and the NHS are dedicated to offering a consistent approach to treatment and provide the best local care for patients with both, rare and common diseases. Services commissioned locally through CCGs via sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) enable service coordination across wider footprints. In England, the NHS Long Term Plan set out the ambition for all STPs to evolve into integrated care systems (ICSs) by April 2021. ICSs are an ‘evolved’ form of a STP, making faster progress in integrating care across their area, bringing together organisations to provide more seamless care for patients<strong>. </strong></p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 15/07/2019 16:32:34 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

However, the data we have relates to the total instances of support being given rather than the number of individuals, reflecting that some people will receive multiple packages of care. Counting the number of people would thus misrepresent the volume of service delivered. As such we are not in a position to provide this as a percentage of the population.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 01/07/2019 13:08:03 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
