question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much interest was accrued in relation to annual allowance charges paid through the scheme pays facility of the NHS Pension in each quarter since 2014-15.
tabling member constituency	Ellesmere Port and Neston
tabling member printed	Justin Madders
uin	247107
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>The information requested is not calculated or held by the NHS Business Services Authority for the whole scheme membership. The ‘Scheme Pays’ facility allows NHS Pension Scheme members to settle their annual allowance tax charges without needing to find funds upfront. However, HM Revenue and Customs requires that if a defined benefit pension scheme pays an annual allowance charge there must be an adjustment to the benefits the member has accrued. The value of the scheme pays charge, plus interest, is recouped from the value of the member’s pension on retirement.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 01/05/2019 14:15:41 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>The information is not available in the format requested, and it is not possible to provide the information by financial quarter in the timeframe available. The NHS Pension Scheme is administered by the NHS Business Services Authority, who collect data on the value of scheme pays charges paid by the scheme to HM Revenue and Customs on behalf of members in each scheme year. The NHS Business Services Authority has provided the following information:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Tax Year</p></td><td><p>Number Scheme Pay Elections</p></td><td><p>Total Scheme Pay Charges (£)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>1,353</p></td><td><p>£11,711,318</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>347</p></td><td><p>£10,439,619</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>768</p></td><td><p>£6,276,607</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>1,126</p></td><td><p>£34,680,862</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>For 2017/18, scheme members have until July to make an election for a scheme pays charge. It is therefore not possible to give a year end figure for the total amount of scheme pays charges. To date, 3,869 elections have been made for 2017/18.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 01/05/2019 14:14:31 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>NHS England has not stockpiled healthcare equipment for use in the event of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union without a deal. The Department increased stockholding through its national procurement and logistics operation, NHS Supply Chain, as part of its contingency arrangements for the UK leaving the EU without a deal. The majority of the stockpiled medical devices and clinical consumables products have shelf lives that extend beyond 31 October 2019; however, as part of good inventory management practice, products are routinely rotated to ensure they are used ahead of expiry.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 01/05/2019 12:45:15 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate his Department has made of the number of NHS trusts in England that provided mandatory domestic abuse training for general practitioners in each of the last five years.
tabling member constituency	Lewisham, Deptford
tabling member printed	Vicky Foxcroft
uin	246547
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>The number of National Health Service trusts in England that provide mandatory domestic abuse training for staff is not held centrally.</p><p>NHS staff must complete a statutory and mandatory training programme which is provided by e-Learning for Health. The programme includes modules on safeguarding adults and children. The requirement to complete this training is part of the employment contract for each employee and it is the responsibility of individual health and social care employer organisations to ensure that their workforce complete it.</p><p>In addition, the Department has also put £2 million over 2018/19 and 2019/20 behind expanding a pathfinder programme, which will create a model health response for survivors of domestic violence and abuse in general practice, mental health services and hospitals. This expands the number of clinical commissioning groups which are pathfinder sites from three to eight providing health services to approximately 18,000 survivors.</p><p>In March 2017 the Department published an online Domestic Violence and Abuse resource for health professionals to improve awareness of domestic violence and abuse. It advises health staff on how they can support adults and young people over 16 who are experiencing domestic abuse, and dependent children in their households, by showing how they can respond effectively to disclosures of abuse.</p><p>The Department has also funded the successful Identification and Referral to Improve Safety (IRIS) project. This provides staff training and a support programme to bridge the gap between the voluntary sector and primary care, to harness the strengths of each, and to provide an improved domestic violence service. IRIS has been adopted in over 800 general practices across 33 areas of the United Kingdom so far.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond grouped question UIN 246548 246549 question first answered 01/05/2019 12:56:51 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
