CCGs do this based on the healthcare needs of their local populations and clinical evidence, to ensure they are providing the best possible, sustainable care for their patients.</p><p> </p><p>Treatment decisions should always be made by doctors based on a patient’s individual clinical needs and informed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) guidelines.</p><p> </p><p>NICE clinical guidelines make many recommendations spanning all stages of care from diagnosis to treatment of a condition. They represent best practice and are based on available evidence and developed through consultation. Health professionals and organisations are expected to take the guidance fully into account when deciding treatments.</p><p> </p><p>A fundamental principle of the National Health Service is that, for people who are ‘ordinarily resident’ in the United Kingdom, treatment is free at the point of need, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. Patient payments, other than those limited forms permitted by Regulations (such as prescription charges, payments for some clinical activity undertaken by dentists, and visitor and migrant charges) are contrary to NHS policy.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond grouped question UIN 267718 question first answered 26/06/2019 15:37:04 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2020 answer text <p>National Health Service providers have worked hard to recover as much elective activity as possible whilst preparing for winter, making full use of available capacity. The Prime Minister has announced £3 billion of extra funding to support the NHS this winter and this includes ensuring the retention of the Nightingale hospital surge capacity and continued access to independent hospitals capacity to help meet patient demand. Essential care should only be postponed if a clinician and patient agree it is in the patient’s best interest.</p><p>Supporting the NHS workforce is crucially important and testing of staff remains a top priority. All NHS staff are eligible for priority testing for COVID-19, access is provided through pillar 1 testing and there is capacity within trusts to ensure staff can get tested.</p><p>To support the wider wellbeing of NHS staff the NHS People Plan published in July sets out our vision and immediate actions to make the NHS the best place to work, where our NHS people are valued and supported.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 10/12/2020 14:30:56 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
