Increasing the number of areas where top-up payments for personal health budgets (PHBs) are allowed would risk creating a two-tier health service, undermining the core principle of the National Health Service, set out in the NHS Constitution, that treatment is provided free at the point of use, based on clinical need, not ability to pay.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to the roll out of PHBs, and through Universal Personalised Care, NHS England has committed to offering PHBs to up to 200,000 people over the next five years.</p><p> </p><p>From 6 April 2018 to 8 June 2018, the Department and NHS England consulted on five groups which we believe may benefit most from PHBs. On 21 February 2019, we announced our intention to extend the legal rights to a PHB to people eligible for Section 117 aftercare services, and people who access wheelchair services, whose posture and mobility needs impact their wider health and social care needs.

A cross stakeholder quality risk profile (QRP) assessment will be undertaken where relevant parties, including the CQC, NHS England and NHS Improvement, the provider and clinical commissioning group (CCG) would meet to discuss the risks via an assessment tool and discuss them to identify any required action as a consequence.</p><p>As part of that process, there would be clear discussion regarding the areas that led to inadequate ratings and how they relate to patients in the care of that specific facility. A decision would then be taken as to whether there is enough assurance that current actions will address the concerns or whether the level of assurance is such that escalation to a single item quality surveillance group (QSG) or a risk summit with the provider is required.</p><p>As part of this process, there would be discussions around actions required and whether it would be appropriate to provide additional support to facilities in terms of additional staff and specialist staff. An individual assessment would be undertaken of patients including their capacity and ability to consent to any continuation of their care or movement of care.</p><p>If it is determined that the appropriate action is to close the inpatient facility and any patient is to be moved, there would be whole system coordination by NHS England, CCGs, the CQC and the provider, whereby information from the individual risk assessment would inform prioritisation for the move. In terms of guidance given to other stakeholders on these processes there is a Standard Operating Procedure along with guidance on risk summits and QSGs.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>As social prescribing is locally driven, different approaches to evaluation and the measurement of outcomes have emerged across England. To encourage consistent data gathering and reporting of outcomes, NHS England has worked with a wide range of stakeholders to develop a Common Outcomes Framework for measuring the impact of social prescribing. Working with a wide range of stakeholders, a consensus has been built for all social prescribing connector schemes to measure a number of outcomes, including impact on the person. This includes how a person’s wellbeing has improved, whether they are less lonely and whether they feel more in control and have a better quality of life.</p><p> </p><p>More information on the Common Outcomes Framework can be found in ‘Social prescribing and community-based support Summary guide’, published by NHS England in January 2019 which is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/social-prescribing-community-based-support-summary-guide.pdf" target="_blank">www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/social-prescribing-community-based-support-summary-guide.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 10/06/2019 15:15:17 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
