	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2020 answer text <p>The restoration of elective treatments across the National Health Service has already resumed. On 31 July guidance was issued to local NHS providers and commissioners outlining the next phase of the NHS response to COVID-19 and concurrent non-COVID-19 activity. The letter can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2020/07/Phase-3-letter-July-31-2020.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2020/07/Phase-3-letter-July-31-2020.pdf</a></p><p>The guidance set the ambition for providers to recover elective services in October to 90% of last year’s levels for admissions, and 100% for outpatients. The return of non- COVID-19 health services to near-normal levels involves making full use of available capacity between now and winter, whilst also preparing for winter demand pressures. This will be done alongside continued vigilance in light of any further COVID-19 spikes locally and possibly nationally.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 23/10/2020 09:51:36 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
