star this property answer text <p>The Department’s Business Planning process takes place annually between December and March each year. Expenditure, including any awards made through grant funding, cannot be confirmed until the Business Planning process has been concluded and budgets for the relevant financial year approved. Opportunities to apply for grant funding from the Department are posted on GOV.UK as they arise.</p><p>Since the Twins and Multiple Births Association’s (TAMBA) award in 2015/16, funding to the voluntary sector has been reshaped and the Innovation, Excellence and Strategic Development Fund, under which TAMBA received their award, no longer accepts applications.</p><p>The successor scheme is the Health and Wellbeing Fund, the second round of which was recently launched for applications. The theme of this round relates to children and young people’s mental health. However, the Department’s Business Planning for 2019/20 has not yet concluded, and therefore the scheme remains subject to the approval of departmental budgets and its launch does not commit the Department to the funding of any grant awards.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Department welcomes the independent Saving Babies’ Lives Project Impact and Results Evaluation (SPiRE), published earlier this year and commissioned by NHS England.</p><p>The report found that maternity staff have helped save more than 160 babies’ lives across 19 maternity units where the Saving Babies Lives Care Bundle had been implemented. The best practice guidance is now being introduced across the country and has the potential if these findings were replicated, to prevent an estimated 600 stillbirths.</p><p>In 2017, the Department funded the Twins and Multiple Births Association’s Maternity Engagement Project. The results from the interim report suggest that increased adherence to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance gave better outcomes for multiple births. This further reinforces the Department’s expectation that all health professionals working with multiple pregnancies adhere to the relevant NICE guidance.</p><p> </p><p>We look forward to reviewing the final project report, which we understand is due for publication in mid-2019.</p>

There may be other services more appropriate to their needs that can be delivered outside inpatient mental health facilities.</p><p> </p><p>However, work is underway to improve mental health services for offenders.

The service review is considering a number of issues including the future demand and capacity required against a number of criteria, levels of security, gender, service type and geographical location. A detailed understanding of difficulties in the system in relation to remissions from hospital to prison is being considered so that access, egress and throughput are all improved. This is vital to ensuring that the appropriate capacity is planned for the future.</p><p> </p><p>New service specifications have been published for both low and medium secure hospitals as well as prison mental health services. The Prison Mental Health Specification embeds the Quality Standards for Prison Mental Health Services developed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists to ensure high quality care for all.

MASs are currently commissioned locally by the National Health Service according to need. A pilot digital minor illness referral service (DMIRS) commenced last year in the North East with direct referrals from NHS 111 to community pharmacy. Building on this three further DMIRS pilots, supported by the Pharmacy Integration Fund, were launched in November 2018, in Devon, London and East Midlands.

It has also been used to fund pilots of the supply of urgent medicines to patients without the need for a general practitioner appointment as well as the referral of patients, presenting with minor illness, direct from NHS111 or NHS Online to community pharmacy. These programmes are aimed at better utilising the skillset and reach of community pharmacy teams to support the wider health service. They are being underpinned by several new education and leadership programmes which are also being funded by the PhIF.</p><p>The Government remains committed to this programme and we are continuing to invest in the development of community pharmacy through this fund. Most recently, NHS England announced their plans for a new pilot scheme, with investment of £1 million from the PhIF, to develop system leadership within pharmacy. These pharmacy leaders will set the vision for pharmacy and medicines optimisation within their area, and will support the delivery of a NHS Pharmacy and Medicines Optimisation Transformation Plan, making the best use of pharmacy in meeting local and national health priorities.</p>
