	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>The Care Quality Commission is responsible for assessing the quality of health and social care support, including for those who are deaf. Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are responsible for assessing locally what health services should be commissioned to meet needs; local authorities have duties under the Care Act 2014 for assessing people’s need for social care support.</p><p> </p><p>NHS Wirral CCG recently completed a consultation in relation to Urgent Care Services. This consultation had significant representation from members of the deaf community as well as British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters. They spoke of consistent difficulties in accessing local NHS services, more specifically on provision and quality of BSL interpreters; this was not specific to urgent care services but spanned the range of NHS services in Wirral. A subsequent meeting was held with representatives of the deaf community on 21 December 2018 and the CCG agreed to facilitate an engagement process to include providers in 2019 to understand the issues in more detail and plan actions for providers to take forward over the longer term. A further meeting has been arranged for 18 February 2019. This meeting will be attended by members of the deaf community, BSL interpreters and NHS providers in Wirral.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 13/02/2019 17:09:28 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>The answer given to Question 205889 was in relation to fees, which remunerate pharmacy contractors for National Health Service pharmaceutical services, for example dispensing. Clawback, alternatively referred to as the deduction scale, relates to reimbursement, i.e. payment for dispensed products. Therefore it was not included in the figures which were given in the answer to that question, it would be inappropriate to include clawback in the calculations involving fees.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 218776 question first answered 13/02/2019 16:32:32 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
