	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2019 answer text <p>The Department funds research mainly through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The usual practice of the NIHR and other research funders is not to ring-fence funds for expenditure on particular topics. The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including hearing aid technology.</p><p>In 2017-18 the NIHR was supporting four studies related to hearing aid technology and improving the use of hearing aids through its research infrastructure in the National Health Service. Between 2017 and 2019, the NIHR Clinical Research Network supported eight clinical studies related to hearing aid technology.</p><p>The NIHR funds three Biomedical Research Centres (BRCs) which have research themes related to hearing loss, deafness and hearing health. The total NIHR investment in these three BRC research themes over the five years from 1 April 2017 is £10.9 million. This includes the Manchester BRC that has established the United Kingdom’s only Hearing Device Research Centre to drive innovation in interventions for hearing loss and to accelerate the translation of new hearing technologies into the NHS.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 05/09/2019 16:20:33 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2019 answer text <p>Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) together with their local providers are responsible to ensure there are clearly defined referral arrangements in place to facilitate timely access to regular and specialist services when required. The Commissioning Framework for Hearing Loss is guidance for organisations responsible for planning and commissioning local hearing services for deaf people, published in 2016 by NHS England. The Framework offers guidance and models of care that commissioners may utilise to support local needs.</p><p>The Action Plan on Hearing Loss, published in March 2015, was developed with input from the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England, Public Health England, other Government Departments, key stakeholders across the voluntary, professional and private sectors and people with hearing loss. The aim of the Plan is to deliver improved hearing outcomes and support for individuals, and it sets out key objectives including improving prevention, early diagnosis, maximising independence, and enabling people to take part in everyday activities, like going to work.</p><p>In July 2019, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence published a quality standard for adult-onset hearing loss. This will support CCGs to improve the commissioning of services.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 05/09/2019 12:14:49 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2019 answer text <p>No formal assessment of the trends in levels of dementia diagnosis in each year of the last five years has been made. The Prime Minister's Challenge on Dementia 2020 (started in 2015) sets out the ambition for two thirds of people with dementia to receive a formal diagnosis. We collect data for an indicator: Estimated Dementia Diagnosis Rate 65+. This indicator compares the number of people thought to have dementia with the number of people diagnosed with dementia, aged 65 and over. The result is presented as a rate, in the form of a percentage and published regularly. The published diagnosis rate is consistently above the target.</p><p> </p><p>The annual ‘Recorded Dementia Diagnoses 2018-19’ publication is scheduled for release on 25 July 2019 and this will cover trends in national and regional diagnosis rates for April 2018 - March 2019.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 16/07/2019 16:24:40 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
