answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>There are many programmes of work underway supported by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care across Government to encourage technology innovation in the National Health Service. We have provided over £100 million in funding to support the development and adoption of health tech innovations across the NHS. In October 2018 the Department published ‘The future of healthcare: our vision for digital, data and technology in health and care’ which outlined what is needed to enable the health and care system to make the best use of technology to support preventative, predictive and personalised care. There is also ongoing work to encourage adoption of data-driven technology with the latest iteration of the Code of Conduct for data-driven technology published in February 2019. We have also announced the creation of NHSX, a joint unit which from July will mandate the use of internationally-recognised tech and data standards across the NHS.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 10/04/2019 15:34:54 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>NHS Blood and Transplant is the organ and tissue donor organisation for the United Kingdom and is responsible for matching and allocating donated organs.</p><p> </p><p>NHS Blood and Transplant is currently implementing the UK-wide ‘Taking Organ Transplantation to 2020’ Strategy (2013), which aims to achieve world class performance in organ donation and transplantation. Objectives include to increase the number of people on the NHS Organ Donor Register to 30 million by 2020; to improve the consent/authorisation rate to 80% by 2020; and to portray donation as a positive step in the grieving process.</p><p> </p><p>While there is an urgent shortage of organs for transplant for people from all backgrounds the problem is particularly acute for black, Asian and minority ethnic patients, who are more likely to need an organ transplant. The Department launched a campaign in July 2018, delivered by NHS Blood and Transplant, with support from the National Black, Asian, Mixed Race and Minority Ethnic Transplant Alliance, to increase donation rates by raising awareness and breaking down barriers to donation within these communities. A toolkit is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://bit.ly/bameODtoolkit" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/bameODtoolkit</a></p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Organ Donation (Deemed Consent Act) 2019 will be introducing a new system of consent for organ and tissue donation in England, from 2020, to help increase the number of donors. NHS Blood and Transplant will launch a 12-month communication campaign before the law comes into force, to raise awareness of the changes and the options available under the new system.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 09/04/2019 15:18:29 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>In England, veterans are able to make use of both mainstream and veteran specific mental health services.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England’s Transition, Intervention and Liaison service supports serving personnel who need additional support as they are leaving the armed forces and veterans who have mental health issues. Numbers indicate that around 5,000 individuals are passing through this service each year. There are three elements to the service:</p><p>- in-reach services for those in transition, leading up to, and leaving the armed forces;</p><p>- services for veterans with complex presentation; and</p><p>- general services for veterans.</p><p>In 2018 NHS England launched their Complex Treatment Service, this has been designed to support veterans with complex mental health issues that have not improved with previous treatment. It provides a range of intensive care and treatment that may include but is not limited to support for drug and alcohol misuse, physical health, employment, housing, relationships and finances, as well as occupational and trauma focused therapies.</p><p> </p><p>In December last year NHS England Long Term Plan announced a further £10 million to expand these services and seek ways to close the gaps in current mental health provision to capture those individuals that are nearing crisis.</p><p> </p><p>Veterans are also able to use mainstream mental health service and are utilising these services with very positive outcomes, often better than the general population. Over 20,000 use Improving Access to Psychological Services each year and many more access other NHS mental health services.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 10/04/2019 15:32:56 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
