answer text <p>The National Hepatitis C Patient Registry was established in 2017 to record and monitor treatment uptake, outcomes and increased diagnosis rates in real time. To date, NHS England has only been able to publish data on the number of treatments successfully delivered; this shows that nationally 9,440 treatments were delivered in England in 2016/17 against a target of 10,000.</p><p> </p><p>While NHS England provides information on treatment numbers for inclusion in the Public Health England annual surveillance report, it does not intend to publish registry data separately because the data contains confidential patient information.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The 2020 impact targets set out in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Health Sector Strategy on viral hepatitis 2016- 1 and Appendix 1 of the Hepatitis C in England 2017 report focus on reducing the number of new cases of chronic viral hepatitis C infection and mortality rates.</p><p> </p><p>A summary of progress towards achieving the WHO elimination goal was published in 2017 in Public Health England’s (PHE) report <em>Hepatitis C in the UK 2017 report: Working to eliminate hepatitis C as a major public health threat</em>. Further progress for England only was recently published by PHE in <em>Hepatitis C in England 2018 report: Working to eliminate heptatis C as a major public health threat</em>. Copies of these reports are attached.</p><p> </p><p>These progress reports have shown that the United Kingdom is on target to meet the WHO interim goal of reducing hepatitis C mortality by 10% by 2020. Better access to improved treatment and prioritising patients with highest unmet clinical need has led to the first fall in deaths from severe hepatitis C related liver disease in a decade.</p><p> </p><p>Assessing the impact Operational Delivery Networks directly have on the incidence of infection is a challenge as this is difficult to measure. Most proxy indicators of incidence suggest that that numbers of new hepatitis C cases have remained relatively stable over recent years.</p><p>Successful delivery of treatments, alongside the contributions of other public health services such as needle exchange and opioid substitution services, will have an effect on incidence. Ongoing monitoring of trends of identification of new cases, and of overall annual prevalence, will continue to be important.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government wants everyone to be able to make healthier choices, regardless of their circumstances, and to minimise the risk and impact of illness. A range of action is being taken to do this, in particular across the three areas identified.</p><p> </p><p>To tackle alcohol misuse we are preventing below cost selling, tightening the rules on irresponsible promotions and introducing new powers to deal with anti-social behaviour. Local authorities are supported by Public Health England (PHE) in the commissioning of high quality, evidence based treatment services for their local populations’ needs.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers have produced new low risk drinking guidelines which provide the public with the latest information about the health risks of different levels and patterns of drinking. The guidelines enable people to make informed choices about their drinking.</p><p> </p><p>Tackling childhood obesity is a priority for this Government. We launched <em>Childhood Obesity: A Plan for Action</em> in August 2016. Our world-leading plan will help children and families to recognise and make healthier choices and be more active. Many of the key commitments in our plan will have an impact on tackling obesity across all age groups. These include the soft drinks industry levy and sugar reduction programme, which will reduce the amount of sugar we all consume. A copy of <em>Childhood Obesity: A Plan for Action</em> is attached.</p><p> </p><p>The National Strategic Group on Viral Hepatitis is a PHE-supported, cross-agency expert group on viral hepatitis with external membership from academia, NHS England, local government, clinical commissioning groups, patient representative groups and other organisations, to provide strategic direction and advice around viral hepatitis. The strategy group aims to help reduce the incidence, prevalence and consequences of infection from the viral hepatitides in England.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p>

answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines are available to help raise awareness of, and testing for, hepatitis B and C infection in people at increased risk of infection. Screening for hepatitis B and C is recommended in groups who are at increased risk of infection so that diagnosed individuals can be referred for specialist care and management. NICE has also produced best practice guidance on hepatitis B antenatal screening and the new-born immunisation programme.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England commissions the infectious diseases in pregnancy screening programme, including the screening for hepatitis B, as of part of the maternity pathway. In addition and as part of health services commissioned for those in detained settings, NHS England is rolling out an ambitious Opt-Out Blood Borne Viruses (BBV) testing programme. The key aim is to improve uptake rates for hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing by the introduction of good practice for ‘meaningful offer’ of BBV testing across the adult prison estate by end of 2017-18.</p>

answer text <p>In 2016-17, Operational Delivery Networks achieved 94% of the planned treatment run rate of 10,000 patients, with all but two treating over 90% of their run rate. NHS England has a Commissioning for Quality and Innovation scheme in place for hepatitis C virus (HCV), which provides a substantial opportunity for hospitals to earn additional income available to invest in their contribution to the sustainable rollout of HCV treatments. NHS England also invested £1 million in fibroscanning equipment to identify patients at the highest unmet clinical need. Clinical and commissioning support is provided at regional and national level to share best practice.</p> more like this

answer text <p>NHS England spent in excess of £200 million on direct acting antivirals for hepatitis C in 2016-17. This figure does not include associated ancillary treatments. Through twice yearly drug procurements and working closely with industry, NHS England has secured reduced prices, which is on course to generate savings of more than £50 million. Reductions in drug price enables the year on year expansion in treatments to remain affordable.</p> more like this

answer text <p>NHS England will keep the run rates for each Operational Delivery Network (ODN) under review, as in 2016/17, taking into account available data on estimated need and performance across the Networks.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England has a Commissioning for Quality and Innovation scheme in place for hepatitis C virus, which provides a substantial opportunity for hospitals to earn additional income for success, rather than any financial penalties. All hospitals who deliver between 90% and 100% of the planned rates of expansion receive the additional payment. In 2016/17, no ODN exceeded their run rate.</p> more like this
