	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p>NHS England, in collaboration with other bodies, will shortly produce guidance that advises on the codes for data collection, including those for ethnicity. National Health Service organisations continue to use the 2001 codes in order to support consistency with other data systems within the NHS. NHS organisations can choose to use either the 2001 or the 2011 categories.</p><p> </p><p>Additional codes can be included as appropriate at a local level to reflect the demographic make-up of the local population. This allows local monitoring to take place in a way that supports service planning, decision-making, and key processes such as the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.</p><p> </p><p>We envisage this position will be revisited, with decisions to change this advice based upon the breadth of utilisation of the new coding system.</p><p> </p><p>The Department, Public Health England and NHS England are together considering the findings and recommendations in the report from the National Inclusion Health Board.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

	uin	HL562
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2014 answer text <p>NHS England has advised that all three centres have periodically experienced problems admitting patients promptly, especially for those patients requiring ventilation, and consequently waiting lists for admission have developed. To ensure patients awaiting admission receive appropriate assessment and support, the centres have been providing outreach care to patients at the hospitals to which they are admitted, which will usually be a major trauma centre.</p><p> </p><p>The fluctuations of waiting times and the ability to discharge a patient to the next phase of their care are key factors in enabling the admission of new patients to a centre. NHS England, the eight specialist centres in England and the Spinal Injuries Association are working together to recommend changes to the continuing care process that would enable spinal cord injured patients to move to the next stage of their care as soon as clinically appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>The overall bed complement for England is being reviewed through a demand and capacity project, led by the Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Reference Group (CRG). The CRG aims to produce a report in 2015-16.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe grouped question UIN HL561 question first answered 01/07/2014 11:44:59 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
