answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2021 answer text <p>While we have no plans to implement the specific recommendations made by NHS Providers, we are working to the same aims as we focus on restoring services. These ambitions, to increase capacity, invest in diagnostics, achieve efficiency and productivity gains, improve pathways, and use technology to improve patient care, are reflected in the National Health Service priorities and operational planning guidance for this year.</p><p>We are supporting a series of innovation initiatives to help reduce waiting list backlogs, including a pathway improvement programme, community diagnostic hubs and an elective accelerator programme. These innovations will help speed up diagnosis, increase capacity and reduce the length of hospital stays, with the latest data suggesting that 86.9% of procedures are carried out without an overnight stay. We hope to see further innovation delivered rapidly across NHS services to increase treatment capacity and improve patient experience, for those with heart valve disease and other conditions.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 17/05/2021 13:23:24 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

tabling member printed	Tim Loughton
uin	178754
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2021 answer text <p>Current clinical commissioning policy is that mercaptamine hydrochloride eye drops are not recommended to be available as a treatment option through routine commissioning for corneal cystine deposits, following the prioritisation process undertaken by NHS England and NHS Improvement in July 2020. However, NHS England and NHS Improvement have determined that there is sufficient clinical evidence to consider commissioning mercaptamine hydrochloride eye drops. This treatment will therefore be considered at the Clinical Priorities Advisory Group prioritisation meeting in May 2021, along with a number of other treatments being considered for funding.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 22/04/2021 14:37:05 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar previous answer version 96582 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380
