	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Medicines Usage Reviews (MURs) are adherence centred reviews with the community pharmacist in isolation from the prescriber. The new Structured Medication Reviews, offered by clinical pharmacists working in primary care networks (PCNs), will provide a more comprehensive review of a patient’s medication with access to the patient record and with the greater ability of clinical pharmacists to make independent decisions to change medication, if that is the result of a review. It is expected that community pharmacists and practice-based pharmacists will work closely together to optimise medicines usage.</p><p>Recently announced changes to the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework, include a Medicines Reconciliation Service, through which community pharmacists will be expected to collaborate with PCN pharmacists and prescribers, to ensure patients are clear about changes to their medicines, post-discharge, in line with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guideline on medicines optimisation. The Pharmacy Quality Scheme and the general practice Quality and Outcomes Framework Quality Improvement modules incentivise PCNs and community pharmacy to identify those taking high risk medicines and take actions to reduce risks where appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 09/09/2019 15:31:26 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice has not set a target waiting time for benefit appeals to be heard in the Social Security and Child Support (SSCS) jurisdiction. This is because waiting times fluctuate geographically owing to a number of factors including venue capacity, the volumes of benefit decisions made locally, the complexity of the case and the availability of panel members. Furthermore, the listing of appeals, including consideration of whether a hearing should be expedited, is a function of the Tribunal’s judiciary. There are also no targets for staffing levels for medical members, disability qualified members or judges in the SSCS jurisdiction. Levels are set based on forecast receipts to the SSCS jurisdiction, outstanding workload, and venue capacity.</p><p> </p><p>HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HCMTS) is taking positive steps to reduce the waiting time for appeals to be heard in the SSCS jurisdiction. In 2018, 232 medical members and 118 disability-qualified members were additionally appointed to the SSCS jurisdiction and an extra 129 fee-paid judges have recently been appointed. The SSCS jurisdiction will also benefit from 100 salaried judges and 170 fee-paid judges being recruited across tribunals more widely. In addition, HMCTS is developing a new digital system with a view to enabling speedier processing of appeals and a better service for all parties to the proceedings. Case-management “triage” sessions are also being conducted, with the aim of reducing the number of cases that need to progress to an oral hearing.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard grouped question UIN 274535 question first answered 17/07/2019 17:10:49 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
