	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>No assessment has been made on the prevalence of National Health Service treatment for back pain. In the instance that back pain continues, or is caused by a pre-existing medical condition, treatment will be provided in line with the existing guidance. The vast majority of people are successfully managed by their general practitioner (GP) or via community services.</p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance ‘Low back pain and sciatica in over 16s: assessment and management’, published in 2016 set out evidence based best practice in the management of the condition. The guidance includes advice on pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to care. The guidance can be viewed at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng59" target="_blank">www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng59</a></p><p>As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, musculoskeletal conditions are responsible for a substantial amount of poor health, and NHS England has committed to expand on work already undertaken to ensure patients will have direct access to musculoskeletal first contact practitioners (FCPs). 98% of sustainability and transformation partnerships have confirmed pilot sites for FCPs and 55% of pilots are already underway. This will expand the number of physiotherapists working in primary care networks, enabling people to see the right professional first time, without needing a GP referral.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 21/05/2019 10:42:28 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
