unstar this property answer text <p>Following successful pilots in London, the National Health Service is now developing surgical hubs across the country. There are currently 44 stand-alone surgical hubs operational in England.</p><p>The additional £1.5 billion provided for the recovery of elective services includes funding for developing further surgical hubs. The Getting It Right First Time programme, in collaboration with NHS England and NHS Improvement, is providing guidance to systems and regions on how to use hubs effectively, standardise pathways and adopt best surgical practice. Systems and regions will submit bids to NHS England and NHS Improvement and this process will determine where hubs will be based.</p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>NHS England has advised it is aware of the findings of the survey.</p><br /><p>The NHS Atlas of Variation in Healthcare, published in September 2015 by Public Health England, NHS England and NHS Right Care, aims to identify unwarranted variation, and the causes of variation, in the provision of health services. Linked to this, the NHS Right Care programme will advise local health systems on variation in elective surgery intervention rates and support them to look at reasons for this and identify any changes needed.</p><br /><p>The NHS Atlas of Variation in Healthcare is too large to attach to this reply, but can be found online at the following:</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.rightcare.nhs.uk/atlas/RC_nhsAtlas3_HIGH_150915.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.rightcare.nhs.uk/atlas/RC_nhsAtlas3_HIGH_150915.pdf</a></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>The commitment that ‘all patients who have operations cancelled, on or after the day of admission (including the day of surgery), for non-clinical reasons to be offered another binding date within 28 days, or the patient’s treatment to be funded at the time and hospital of the patient’s choice’ is included as a pledge in the Handbook to the NHS Constitution. A copy is attached.</p><p> </p><p>Every quarter, NHS England publishes the number of operations cancelled at the ‘last minute’ for non-clinical reasons. A last minute cancellation is defined as ‘when a patient’s operation is cancelled by the hospital on or after the day of admission (including the day of surgery) for non-clinical reasons’. The financial sanction for not meeting the pledge in 2016-17 is non-payment of costs associated with cancellation and non-payment or reimbursement (as applicable) of the re-scheduled episode of care.</p><p> </p><p>Every month, NHS England also publishes data on urgent operations that are cancelled by the trust for non-medical reasons, including those cancelled for a second or subsequent time. This includes all urgent operations cancelled, not just those cancelled at the last minute. Although there is no pledge for cancelled urgent operations, NHS England has set a National Quality Requirement that no urgent operation should be cancelled for a second time, and the NHS Standard Contract provides for a financial sanction of £5,000 per incidence.</p>
