uin	64068
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2022 answer text <p>On 22 September 2022, we announced “Our Plan for Patients,” which contains measures to help people make an informed choice about which practice is best for them, book an appointment more easily, benefit from more options when they need care and bolster general practice teams with other professionals who can help them. This should increase the availability of appointments, including face-to-face appointments.</p><p>NHS England guidance is clear that GP practices must provide face to face appointments, alongside remote consultations, and should respect preferences for face-to-face care unless there are good clinical reasons to the contrary.</p><p>Remote consultations can provide additional choice, flexibility and convenience for patients. However a blended offer of face to face and remote consultations is important because remote access is not suitable for all patients or in all circumstances. We expect patients to experience the same high quality of care regardless of how they access their GP surgery.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 27/10/2022 08:42:49 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2022 answer text <p>Taxation is a matter for HM Treasury. An individual may choose to claim their pension for a number of reasons and it is not possible to isolate the impact of any single factor, such as the annual allowance on retention. The Department monitors the retirement patterns and hours worked by senior doctors and keeps the NHS Pension Scheme rules under review to ensure it continues to help the National Health Service attract and retain the staff needed to deliver high quality care for patients.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 27/09/2022 14:47:20 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

tabling member constituency	York Outer
tabling member printed	Julian Sturdy
uin	45807
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2022 answer text <p>The NHS Pension Scheme protects the value of pensions in payment by an increase through the Consumer Price Index (CPI) each April using the CPI figure from the previous September. The Scheme also re-values accrued career-average pension benefits by CPI plus 1.5% annually for active members. A higher rate of revaluation will increase the size of pensions and may therefore increase annual allowance pension tax liability in a situation where inflation is increasing.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 27/09/2022 14:44:08 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
