answer text <p>The Department aims to ensure the continuity of supply of medicines while ensuring that the National Health Service obtains value for money from its spend on medicines.</p><p> </p><p>The costs of branded medicine are controlled by the Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme and the statutory scheme for branded medicines. For unbranded generic medicines the Department relies on competition to keep prices down. In primary care community pharmacies are incentivised to source products at the lowest possible cost and in secondary care, competitive tenders ensure value-for-money to the NHS.</p><p> </p><p>Where competition does not appear to be working, the Department alerts the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Where the CMA finds that a company has breached competition law by charging excessive prices it can impose a fine as well as order companies to reduce their prices. In those instances the Department will seek damages and invest that money back into the NHS.</p><p> </p><p>Investigations and infringements decisions by the CMA are publicly available on the CMA’s website.</p>

answer text <p>This data is not available in the format requested.<sup>1 </sup>NHS England publishes monthly data on delayed transfers of care. The latest data is for October 2017 and can be accessed via the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/delayed-transfers-of-care/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/delayed-transfers-of-care/</a></p><p> </p><p>Note:</p><p> </p><p><sup>1</sup>As of April 2017, data on the number of patients delayed on the last Thursday of the month is no longer being collected. This measure has been replaced in the Delayed Transfers of Care (DTOC) publication files by a similar measure called DTOC Beds. The DTOC Beds figure is calculated by dividing the number of delayed days during the month by the number of calendar days in the month. This provides a similar figure to the patient snapshot, but is more representative of the entire month rather than providing a view on one particular day. The time series for patient snapshot data is available for the period August 2010 to March 2017.</p>

answer text <p>The effects of modern municipal waste incinerators on human health were reviewed by the Health Protection Agency, whose functions were transferred to Public Health England (PHE) on 1 April 2013. The report, published in September 2009, concluded “Modern, well managed incinerators make only a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants. It is possible that such small additions could have an impact on health but such effects, if they exist, are likely to be very small and not detectable.”</p><p> </p><p>PHE will review its advice in light of new substantial research on the health effects of incinerators published in peer reviewed journals. To date, PHE is not aware of any evidence that requires a change in their position statement.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department has no such plans.</p><p> </p><p>The Department does not generally ringfence budgets within the National Health Service. Clinicians in clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), who know their patients, have the autonomy to make decisions about the health services that best meet the health needs of their local population. They do this based on patient needs and clinical evidence.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance applies to CCGs and sets out specific requirements, including commissioning mental health services that meet the needs of local populations. This guidance also requires CCGs and NHS England specialised commissioning hubs to increase their spend on mental health services by a greater amount than the growth in their overall programme allocation.</p> more like this
