	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2015 answer text <p>The use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for patients who are detained for treatment under the Mental Health Act 1983 (the Act) and for all patients under 18 years is governed by section 58A of the Act. If a patient lacks the capacity to consent a second opinion appointed doctor (SOAD) must certify that the patient lacks the capacity to consent and that:</p><p>- the treatment is appropriate;</p><p>- no valid and applicable advance decision has been made by the patient under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) refusing the treatment in question;</p><p>- no suitably authorised attorney or deputy objects to the treatment on the patients behalf; and</p><p>- the treatment would not conflict with a decision of the Court of Protection which prevents the treatment being given.</p><p>The numbers of these second opinions involving ECT have been declining for the past decade though there has been an increase since 2012/13. It is not clear whether this is a change in overall trend.</p><p>The requirements of section 58A can only be overridden in emergency if the treatment is necessary to save the patient’s life and to prevent a serious deterioration of the patient’s condition, and the treatment does not have unfavourable physical or psychological consequences which cannot be reversed.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 16/10/2015 12:24:24 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2015 answer text <p>Armed forces veterans receive payments either through the War Disablement Pension (WDP) or the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS). The AFCS applies to veterans injured from April 2005. It has always been the case that personal injury compensation payments have been disregarded in when assessing how much a person can contribute towards the cost of local authority arranged care and support. Since October 2012 Guaranteed Income Payments made under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme have also been disregarded. The Department of Health has been in discussion with the Royal British Legion about how WDP payments are currently treated.</p><p>The Government is in the process of considering the future funding of social care as part of the current spending review.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 16/10/2015 12:04:17 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2015 answer text <p>On 3 August 2015, NHS England and the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health published a commissioning guide for clinical commissioning groups that will set out how to prepare for the access and waiting time standard for Children and Young People with an Eating Disorder ready for implementation of the standard. The standard is that children and young people with eating disorders should be seen within four weeks or one week in urgent cases.</p><p>From January 2016, compliance with this standard will be monitored via the Health and Social Care Information Centre website based on the data collected through the Mental Health Services Data Set. This will provide a baseline for planning and implementation from 2017-2018, when the standard will come into force. From 2016, the data will be used to measure progress with a view to 95% of young people meeting the standard by 2020.</p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 16/10/2015 12:13:29 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2015 answer text <p>The Department has discussed with NHS England the difficulties that people on the autistic spectrum can have in getting an appropriate diagnosis in a timely manner. With support from the Department, NHS England and the Association of Directors of Social Services will undertake a series of visits to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to gather information that can be shared between areas that have arrangements in place to meet National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Quality Standard 51 Autism: support for commissioning and those that do not, with the aim of supporting more consistent provision. These NICE guidelines already recommend that there should be a maximum of three months between a referral and a first appointment for a diagnostic assessment for autism. We expect the National Health Service to be working towards meeting the recommendations.</p><p>St Helens CCG is undertaking a review of current processes as part of the neuro-developmental pathway project, which includes autism spectrum conditions diagnosis provision and the associated waiting times for children. It is envisaged that the revised service model will be operational from September 2016, and will be in line with NICE Guidance. St Helens also co-commissions an Autism Diagnostic service in partnership with other neighbouring CCGs for adult services. Due to recent increases in demand the CCG is also working with the local NHS provider to help find solutions in regard to how waiting times can be effectively managed in order to meet NICE Guidance.</p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 16/10/2015 12:11:50 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
