	tabling member printed	Baroness Altmann
	uin	HL17504
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/08/2019 answer text <p>Membership of the NHS Pension Scheme was extended to general practitioner (GP) practice nurses from September 1997, following an agreement reached with organisations representing nurses and GPs. Prior to this date, GP practice nurses were excluded because eligibility was originally limited to those directly employed by a National Health Service body. GP practice nurses are employed directly by self-employed GPs, rather than the NHS.</p><p>The pressure on NHS Pension Scheme costs, which are met mutually across all members and their employers, meant that practice nurses could not be offered retrospective membership for employment before 1997. This was accepted by staff representatives at the time of the agreement, and remains the current position.</p><p>However, GP practice nurses and their employers can make voluntary extra contributions to purchase units of ‘Additional Pension’ and so boost their NHS retirement pensions.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 07/08/2019 11:43:50 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

We believe that no-one’s opportunities in life should be determined by their ethnicity or religion.</p><p>The Government takes racist attacks very seriously, which is why we published the Hate Crime Action Plan in 2016. This was refreshed in 2018, when we committed up to £1.5 million for projects to tackle racially and religiously motivated hatred. We continue to work with the police and third party services such as the Community Security Trust, Tell MAMA and GATE Herts to encourage reporting and support victims of racially motivated hatred.</p><p>We have also asked the Law Commission to undertake a review of hate crime legislation and, last year, launched a national hate crime public awareness campaign.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 07/08/2019 13:29:23 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

	tabling member printed	Lord Freyberg
	uin	HL17458
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/08/2019 answer text <p>As set out in the recently published guidance <em>Creating the right framework to realise the benefits for patients and the NHS where data underpins innovation,</em> the Centre of Expertise will offer support to those National Health Service organisations seeking to understand whether proposed data arrangements meet the requirements set out in the five guiding principles. The Centre of Expertise will sit in NHSX. The requirement that terms are agreed which are fair to both an NHS organisation and the wider NHS, is included to ensure, for example, that local NHS trusts consider arrangements which can provide benefits to the whole NHS, not just to an individual trust. This may include a NHS trust providing access to anonymised healthcare data for development of a healthcare product in return for access at a reduced cost to that product for the whole NHS, not just that particular trust. Fair terms should ensure that benefits returned to NHS organisations and the NHS as a whole are commensurate with the outputs that are generated by the data partner. The principles are intended to apply to all NHS organisations at the primary, secondary and tertiary care levels, including national NHS organisations. However, we will consider the inclusion of arm’s length bodies as part of the next phase of work in developing a full policy framework.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford grouped question UIN HL17459 HL17460 question first answered 07/08/2019 11:38:14 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
