	tabling member printed	Sir John Hayes
	uin	23097
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2024 answer text <p>The standards of training for health care professionals are the responsibility of the health care independent statutory regulatory bodies, including the General Medical Council (GMC), the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and the Health and Care Professions Council. These have the general function of promoting high standards of education, and co-ordinating all stages of education, to ensure that health and care students and newly qualified health care professionals are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for professional practice, including knowledge of cerebral palsy.</p><p>The training curricula for postgraduate specialty training is set by the relevant royal college, and has to meet the standards set by the GMC. Whilst curricula do not necessarily highlight specific conditions for doctors to be aware of, they do emphasise the skills and approaches that a doctor must develop in order to ensure accurate and timely diagnoses and treatment plans for their patients.</p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has also published a range of guidance on care and support for children and young people, and adults with cerebral palsy, to support health care professionals and commissioners. The guidance outlines the kind of specialist care that children, young people, and adults with cerebral palsy may need from health and social care professionals. The guidance document for children and young people with cerebral palsy, and the guidance document for adults with cerebral palsy, are available respectively at the following links:</p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng62" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng62</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng119" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng119</a></p><p>NHS England has also produced an e-learning course on the prevention of cerebral palsy in preterm labour, which is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/prevention-of-cerebral-palsy-in-preterm-labour/" target="_blank">https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/prevention-of-cerebral-palsy-in-preterm-labour/</a></p><p>NHS England has established the Getting It Right First Time (GRIFT) national programme, which is designed to improve the treatment and care of patients through an in-depth clinically led review of specialties, to examine how things are currently being done and how they could be improved. The GRIFT National Speciality Report on Neurology makes recommendations on the diagnosis and management of a range of neurological conditions, including cerebral palsy, and will support the National Health Service in delivering care more equitably across the country, and improving services nationally.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, backed by £2.4 billion, sets out the steps needed to deliver an NHS workforce that meets the changing needs of the population over the next 15 years. The plan will double medical school training places by 2031, and sets out that the NHS will focus on expanding the number of clinicians who train to take up enhanced and advanced roles and work as part of multidisciplinary teams. We expect that this will increase the number of health care professionals in the speciality of neurology, and those that have specialist knowledge of cerebral palsy.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 01/05/2024 16:35:50 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

The NICE was unfortunately unable to recommend Enhertu as a clinically and cost-effective use of NHS resources in its final draft guidance published on 5 March 2024. Stakeholders have had an opportunity to appeal against the NICE’s draft recommendations, and the NICE will consider any appeals through the established process, and will publish final guidance in due course.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 16/04/2024 15:03:45 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

	tabling member constituency	South Holland and The Deepings

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2024 answer text <p>There are 51 staff with equality, diversity, or inclusion in their job title at NHS England, as of 26 February 2024. This covers a wide range of roles both supporting NHS England as an employer, and facing the wider National Health Service system, with some of these roles also covering other areas of NHS policy. NHS England has reduced the number of roles focused on equality, diversity and inclusion as part of its merger with NHS Digital and Health Education England. The roles that remain are essential to helping the NHS meet its legal duties in the Equality Act 2010 and the principles that guide the NHS Constitution. This includes overseeing statutory programmes that are focused on tackling discrimination by some staff which includes disabled staff, as well as roles dealing with the sexual safety of staff and patients in the NHS.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 15/04/2024 08:56:23 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
