answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department has made no assessment of the effect on patients of the accreditation of the Society of Homeopathy by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).</p><p>The PSA sets standards for organisations holding voluntary registers for health and social care occupations and accredits those registers that meet them. The PSA’s list of accredited registers can be used by employers and members of the public to choose a practitioner to meet their needs and be assured they are safe and competent to practise.</p><p>The PSA is clear that accreditation is not an endorsement of a particular treatment or therapy or its efficacy but ensures that practitioners are part of a body that works to good practice and is committed to protecting the public.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 25/07/2019 14:24:37 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>The clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are currently looking at different options as to how they can work together in the future to consolidate their current collaborative working arrangements. The emerging preferred option from the public, member, staff, partner and stakeholder engagement so far, is a single CCG in Durham, which would be co-terminus with the local authority and a single CCG in the Tees Valley (covering the Tees Combined Authority area) with a shared management arrangement.</p><p>The CCGs in Durham have been working together for some time with joint appointments since 2014 and ‘in-common’ meetings since May 2017. NHS Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield CCG and NHS North Durham CCG also have a shared lay member for patient and public participation.</p><p>Should the CCGs decide to progress the merger application at the end of August, a Communication and Engagement Strategy, which is currently in development, will be submitted with the application.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 25/07/2019 14:28:03 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond previous answer version 131081 answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>On 1 April 2013, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) replaced primary care trusts (PCTs) as the primary commissioner of National Health Service services in England.</p><p>Unlike PCTs, CCGs are clinically led, and so are better able to use clinical expertise to assess and prioritise those treatments that provide the safest and most effective outcomes for their population. The evidence suggests that general practitioner-led CCGs have allowed the redesign of patient pathways and local services based on clinical evidence, and a more effective dialogue and partnership with other parts of the health system.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 25/07/2019 14:26:05 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond previous answer version 131080 answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
