answer text <p>Online appointments are being developed to enhance and support existing general practice services and will give patients more choice on how they access services. This approach is in addition to not a substitute for more traditional ways of seeing a general practitioner or nurse at a patient’s own registered practice. Patients who do not wish to use this way of accessing services are still able to get a face to face or telephone appointments.</p><p> </p><p>Everyone across the country can now also access general practice appointments in the evenings and weekends, which will provide an estimated nine million additional appointments per year. This means that patients can see a doctor, nurse or other member of the practice team at a time that is convenient to them, 365 days per years including on bank holidays.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government is committed to improving the lives of those with respiratory disease.</p><p>Respiratory disease is a clinical priority within the recently published NHS Long Term Plan. This has the overarching objective of improving outcomes for people with respiratory disease. The Long Term Plan sets out how the National Health Service will take action in a number of areas. This includes expanding programmes that support earlier diagnosis of respiratory disease including the pioneering lung health checks trialled in Manchester and Liverpool; increasing access to proven treatments such as pulmonary rehabilitation (a structured exercise and education programme for those with chronic respiratory disease and breathlessness); and improving support for those with chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma to receive and use the correct medications.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan will build on a range of existing national initiatives focussed on the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory disease, some of which are detailed below.</p><p>The NHS Outcomes Framework sets out the Department’s priority areas for the NHS, and includes reducing deaths from respiratory disease as a key indicator.</p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) publishes quality standards that define best practice and areas in need of improvement for a range of respiratory illnesses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, with the aim of raising the standard of care that people with these conditions receive. NICE quality standards cover both diagnosis and treatment.</p><p>The NHS RightCare COPD pathway is being rolled out nationally through clinical commissioning groups and defines the core components of an optimal service for people with COPD. This includes timely access to pulmonary rehabilitation as part of the optimal treatment pathway.</p><p>The Department and NHS England are supportive of the National Asthma and COPD Audit Programme. Launched in March 2018 and led by the Royal College of Physicians, this programme aims to improve quality of care, services, and clinical outcomes for patients with asthma and COPD by collecting and providing data on a range of indicators.</p><p>Furthermore, NHS England commissions treatments for rare or complex respiratory conditions through the Specialised Respiratory Clinical Reference Group, which is chaired by Professor Mike Morgan. This includes specialist treatment for pulmonary hypertension, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and severe asthma among other conditions.</p><p>The Department also funds research on respiratory illnesses through the National Institute for Health Research.</p>

answer text <p>The Department is committed to making sure people with long term conditions receive the personalised care and support they need. Where suitable, loved ones and carers should be involved in tailoring care options.</p><p>Last summer the Department published a Carers Action Plan, setting out a cross-Government programme of targeted work to support carers over the next two years and will also ensure a clear focus on carers in the forthcoming Adult Social Care Green Paper. The Department is clear that planning for people with long term conditions should involve loved ones and carers. The aim is supporting carers to provide care as they would wish, and to do so in a way that supports their own health and wellbeing.</p><p>As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, published on 7 January 2019, NHS England is taking action in range of areas to improve the care treatment and support provided to people with neurological conditions including rolling out the NHS Comprehensive Model of Personalised Care across the country, reaching 2.5 million people by 2023/24.</p>

answer text <p>Prostate cancer is largely a disease of older men and we expect incidence to rise in the coming years due to the ageing population. However, early diagnosis is important and that is why the Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme is in place so men can discuss the risks and benefits of being tested within general practice.</p><p> </p><p>The United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UK NSC) last reviewed the evidence about screening for prostate cancer in 2016 and recommended against a population screening programme. The UK NSC will be reviewing the evidence for screening for prostate cancer in 2019/20.

This was continued in 2018/19 and extended to frontline health and care staff working in the voluntary managed hospice sector.
