answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>The Department’s contingency plans aim to ensure that the supply of medicines to patients is not disrupted in all European Union exit scenarios, including in the event we exit the EU without a deal. We are confident that, if everyone does what they need to do, the supply of medicines will be uninterrupted in the event of exiting the EU without a deal.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is working closely with trade bodies, product suppliers, the health and care system in England, the devolved administrations and Crown Dependencies, to make detailed plans to ensure the continuation of the supply of medicines to the whole of the United Kingdom in the event of a no deal EU exit.</p><p> </p><p>On 23 August 2018, the Department sent a letter to all healthcare providers to advise of our ‘no deal’ EU exit medicines supply contingency plans. That letter highlighted the need for maintaining existing practices and that hospitals, general practitioners and community pharmacies throughout the UK do not need to take any steps to stockpile additional medicines, beyond their business as usual buffer stocks.</p><p> </p><p>A letter from Dr Keith Ridge CBE, the Chief Pharmaceutical Officer at NHS England, outlining the steps taken thus far to protect the continuity of supply for medicines was then sent out NHS services, including clinical commissioning groups, on 17 January 2019.</p><p> </p><p>More recently, on 4 February 2019, a further letter was sent out by Professor Keith Willett, EU Exit Strategic Commander and Medical Director for Acute Care and Emergency Preparedness, to clinical commissioning groups and trust Chief Executives reiterating the Department’s messaging and outlining the operational response that NHS England and NHS Improvement are undertaking at a national and regional level in preparation for a ‘no deal’ EU exit.

The use of electronic payments is increasingly common in NHS hospitals. As with other areas of income generation, in the event that a surplus is made by the trusts after costs are offset, this is used to improve clinical services.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 26/02/2019 12:11:23 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>The clinically-led review of standards was announced by the Prime Minister in June 2018. The review is considering the appropriateness of operational standards for physical and mental health relating to planned, unplanned urgent or emergency care, as well as cancer. In the interest of patient safety, we are committed to ensuring that any changes to waiting time standards are based on clinical evidence.</p><p> </p><p>The Long Term Plan provides a platform upon which innovative models of patient care can and are being developed. In that context, the NHS National Medical Director has been working with the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, Healthwatch England and many others to consider what matters most to patients, on the clinical issues with the current target regime, and what National Health Service staff believe will help them provide the best quality care for patients.</p><p> </p><p>The review will report its interim findings in the spring of 2019, after which any recommended changes arising from the Clinical Standards Review will be carefully tested across the NHS and be subject to a rigorous approach before they are implemented. Any changes should, and will, only seek to further strengthen current operational standards. Any changes to the NHS Constitution will be consulted on as is legally required.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 26/02/2019 11:56:51 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

tabling member constituency	Portsmouth South
tabling member printed	Stephen Morgan
uin	222660
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>NHS England’s Five Year Forward View set out a clear vision on how to close the gaps of the health and wellbeing of the population, the quality of care provided, and the finances and efficiencies of NHS services. The NHS’s chosen vehicle to deliver this is sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) which bring together National Health Service organisations and local councils together in footprints covering the whole of England.</p><p> </p><p>The areas to be covered by all STPs, including Hampshire and Isle of Wight, were decided through discussions between the leaders of local and national NHS bodies. Factors that were considered included partnership work already under way between organisations, local government boundaries, and where patients go to receive treatment.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan confirmed that all STPs will become Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) by April 2021.</p><p> </p><p>ICSs will be expected to work in partnership with local authorities, to make collective decisions on population health, service redesign and the implementation of the Long Term Plan. The Plan set out a further requirement that ICSs establish a partnership board, drawn from and representing commissioners, trusts, primary care networks, local authorities, the voluntary and community sector and other local partners. This will be accompanied by a new ICS accountability and performance framework that will consolidate the current combination of local accountability arrangements that exists, and provide a consistent and comparable set of performance measures which could be used to assess ICSs.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond grouped question UIN 222661 question first answered 26/02/2019 12:02:05 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
