In 2018/19, we believe that NHS productivity grew at 2.3%, greater than its 1.1% target.</p><p>However, we expect that NHS productivity will have fallen considerably in 2020/21 because of increased spending on the COVID-19 response and due to reductions in elective and non-elective admissions to prevent further infections in hospitals. Data collection and assessment of the NHS against Financial Test 2 to achieve 1.1% productivity growth was also paused due to COVID-19.</p><p>The latest independent figures on NHS productivity from the University of York and the Office for National Statistics (ONS), for the 2017/18 financial year, show that productivity grew by between 0.7% (ONS estimate) and 1.3% (University of York estimate).</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 03/11/2020 12:45:40 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2021 answer text <p>The Bill establishes integrated care boards (ICBs) as National Health Service bodies directly accountable for NHS spending and performance. The overwhelming majority of services paid for by the NHS will continue to be provided by NHS organisations.</p><p>The work of ICBs will be driven by health outcomes, not profit with safeguards in place to protect the interests of the public and the NHS. The ICB chair has the power to veto membership of the board and NHS England has the power to issue guidance to ICBs in relation to appointments, alongside the robust requirements on ICBs to manage conflicts of interests. We propose to bring forward an amendment to protect the independence of ICBs by preventing individuals with significant interests in private healthcare from membership on the boards.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 26/10/2021 08:56:42 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
