We are implementing landmark advertising restrictions from October 2025, which will protect children from the advertising of less healthy food and drink on television before the 9:00pm watershed, and paid-for advertising online. Evidence shows that these restrictions will have a direct impact on childhood obesity by targeting the media that children experience most.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 09/05/2024 13:47:15 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	uin	20155
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2024 answer text <p>In England, the NHS Constitution allows patients to be treated by any provider who holds a contract for the provision of National Health Services. This includes the independent sector, who already hold multiple contracts with integrated care boards (ICBs) across the country to provide additional capacity to the NHS.</p><p>Last year, the Government set out how it will make it easier for patients to exercise their choice by improving the NHS App, increasing choice for patients already on waiting lists, and raising awareness of patients’ right to choose.</p><p>At the point of referral, for example at a general practice appointment, patients will be actively offered a list of providers which are clinically appropriate for their condition. This will be a minimum of five providers where possible. Patients will also be informed of their right to choose, and encouraged to raise this at the time of the referral.</p><p>Patients can be referred to services outside of their local ICB geography when exercising their legal right of choice of provider and team, if the service meets the criteria to be an appropriate choice for patients. Where there is limited choice in the local vicinity or region of a patient, alternative national providers will be offered.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 15/04/2024 09:01:24 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
