star this property answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has published a clinical guideline on the assessment and management of motor neurone disease (MND), to support its diagnosis. The guideline recommends coordinated care for people with MND, using a clinic based, MND specialist, multi-disciplinary team approach. The core multi-disciplinary team should consist of healthcare and other professionals with expertise in MND, and should include specialist nurses.</p><p>The Government has committed to delivering at least £50 million to support MND research over five years, from 2022 onwards, as part of a package of £375 million for research into neurodegenerative diseases. In June 2023, the Government announced that more than £35 million of the £50 million pledged to cutting-edge MND research has now been allocated, just two years into a five-year funding commitment. Work continues at pace to support MND researchers in submitting high-quality bids for open funding calls. Further information is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-continues-delivering-on-50-million-funding-pledge-for-motor-neurone-disease-research" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-continues-delivering-on-50-million-funding-pledge-for-motor-neurone-disease-research</a></p><p>NHS England commissions specialised services to support people living with MND, as set out in the published service specification for specialised neurology services. The support provided includes the provision of multi-disciplinary care from specialist clinicians, including neurologists, specialist nurses, speech and language therapists, dietetics and nutrition support, and physiotherapy, depending on individual clinical need. The service specification for specialised neurology services is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/d04-neurosci-spec-neuro.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/d04-neurosci-spec-neuro.pdf</a></p><p>In addition, NHS England commissions a specialised communication aid service known as Augmentative and Alternative Communication, as set out in the published service specification. This service supports and prioritises individuals with rapidly degenerative conditions, including MND. The service specification for Augmentative and Alternative Communication, is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/commissioning/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/aac-serv-spec-jan-2016.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/commissioning/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/aac-serv-spec-jan-2016.pdf</a></p>

star this property answer text <p>In October 2022, Health Education England carried out the fifth national census to capture the size and composition of the public health workforce in England. The scope of the 2022 census was expanded to include additional roles beyond specialists, including public health practitioners, advanced practitioners, specialist community public health nurses, including school nurses and health visitors, and public health apprentices. NHS England plans to conduct the next capacity review of the public health workforce in 2025, and will work with the Department to define the scope of the review.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, published on 30 June 2023, sets out the steps the National Health Service and its partners need to take to deliver a health workforce that meets the needs of the population. This includes a commitment to provide 13% more public health specialist training places from 2023/24, and for the NHS to work with the Department to address demand and supply of the public health workforce in future years.</p>

NHS England collects uptake data for the AAA screening programme, for coverage of the initial scan, coverage of the quarterly surveillance scan, for men with a medium aneurysm, and coverage of the annual surveillance scan, for men with a small aneurysm. NHS England publishes quarterly Key Performance Indicator reports, and an Annual Standards Report, both of which are available at the respective links below:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nhs-population-screening-programmes-kpi-reports" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nhs-population-screening-programmes-kpi-reports</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-screening-standards-report-2022-to-2023/aaa-standards-report-2022-to-2023" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-screening-standards-report-2022-to-2023/aaa-standards-report-2022-to-2023</a></p><p> </p><p>NHS England is working to improve uptake, including for men at greatest risk, as data shows that men living in more deprived areas are at greater risk from having an AAA.
