answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>Initial analysis of records held by NHS Digital suggested that 195,568 women were registered with a general practitioner in England and had not been invited as expected for a breast screen between their 68th and 71st birthdays. These women were all sent a letter to alert them to the potential problem as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p>Subsequent analysis showed that 72,839 (37%) of them had received a screen or an invitation for a screen between their 68th and 71st birthday. The main reason for the discrepancy was that, in line with usual practice, women who move house are sent invitations to both addresses, while some had been invited before their 68th birthday but screened after it.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 25/06/2018 14:27:28 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>The Department is developing a state-backed indemnity scheme for general practice in England. This recognises that the rising cost of clinical negligence is a great source of concern for general practitioners (GPs). The state-backed scheme is being designed to provide more affordable and more stable cover for GPs. This involves complex considerations about funding which are being worked through.</p><p> </p><p>We consider that focused engagement with the relevant stakeholders on the emerging policy direction is a more effective way of ensuring that the representations of those affected are taken into account than a public consultation, at this time. The recent indemnity in general practice survey included attitudinal questions to gauge the views of the profession. The Government is working with medical defence organisations, general practice representatives and other key stakeholders in the design of the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>This follows the Department and NHS England’s review into GP indemnity, published July 2016 at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/gp-indemnity-rev-summary.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/gp-indemnity-rev-summary.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>This set out the evidence for the scale and drivers of indemnity inflation and proposals for ways to address indemnity pressures and underlying factors.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise the value of medical defence organisations to their members and we are working closely with them to understand the impact of the proposed scheme on their business.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 21/06/2018 11:14:36 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

uin	153857
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>In October 2017, my Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced the intention of the Department to develop a state-backed indemnity scheme for general practice in England. This announcement recognised that the rising cost of clinical negligence is a great source of concern for general practitioners (GPs).</p><p> </p><p>Since the announcement, Government has been developing the new scheme, seeking to put in place a more stable and affordable system of indemnity for general practice. The plans announced so far are as follows:</p><p>- NHS Resolution will be directed to establish and administer the scheme on behalf of the Secretary of State. This means that NHS Resolution will be given responsibility for the overall administration of the scheme;</p><p>- The scheme will include activities delivered under the primary medical care contracts (General Medical Service, Personal Medical Service, Alternative Provider Medical Service). Other professions working under the primary medical care contracts will be included in the scheme. The scheme will also include work delivered under the primary medical care contracts that are delivered in secure environments; and</p><p>- The current intention is that the scheme will exclude National Health Service primary care dentistry and private dentistry, private healthcare and community pharmacy and optometry.</p><p> </p><p>We are working closely with the medical defence organisations, NHS England, and representatives of general practice professionals.</p><p> </p><p>In March 2018, the Department commissioned a survey of GPs, nurses and pharmacists in general practice. The survey was designed to help the Department understand current indemnity arrangements within general practice, informing the development of the new state backed scheme.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently analysing the survey results and will provide further details along with the key findings of the GP Indemnity Survey in due course.</p><p> </p><p>We remain fully committed to developing and implementing the scheme from April 2019.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 21/06/2018 11:08:09 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
