star this property answer text <p>On 22 September 2022, we announced “Our Plan for Patients,” which contains measures to help people make an informed choice about which practice is best for them, book an appointment more easily, benefit from more options when they need care and bolster general practice teams with other professionals who can help them. This should increase the availability of appointments, including face-to-face appointments.</p><p>NHS England guidance is clear that GP practices must provide face to face appointments, alongside remote consultations, and should respect preferences for face-to-face care unless there are good clinical reasons to the contrary.</p><p>Remote consultations can provide additional choice, flexibility and convenience for patients. However a blended offer of face to face and remote consultations is important because remote access is not suitable for all patients or in all circumstances. We expect patients to experience the same high quality of care regardless of how they access their GP surgery.</p>

star this property answer text <p>No assessment has been made. Licensed cannabis-based medicines are routinely available on the National Health Service, however, clinical guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence demonstrate a clear need for more evidence to support routine prescribing and funding decisions for unlicensed cannabis based products for medicinal use in humans. Until that evidence base is built, prescribers will remain reticent to prescribe and no decision can be made by the NHS on routine funding.</p><p>We continue to call on manufacturers to conduct research and we are working with regulatory, research and NHS partners to establish clinical trials to test the safety and efficacy of these products.</p> more like this

We use a range of tools and follow well-established processes to manage and mitigate medicine supply issues, working closely with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, the pharmaceutical industry, NHS England, Devolved Governments and others operating in the supply chain, to help prevent shortages and to ensure that the risks to patients are minimised when they do arise.</p><p>The recent supply issues affecting antibiotics used to treat Strep A appear to be improving, as decisive action has been taken to boost supply and demand has reduced. We are continuing to work with manufacturers and wholesalers to ensure that they expedite deliveries, bring forward stock they have to make sure it gets to where it is needed, and boost supply to meet demand. We have issued eight Serious Shortage Protocols to allow pharmacists to supply an alternative form of penicillin V, or alternative antibiotic, to make things easier for them, patients, and general practitioners.</p><p>We understand from our engagement with industry and other stakeholders that other countries have also experienced supply issues with antibiotics over recent months. We are working with our global partners, to share information and intelligence and and work together to address those issues.</p>
