answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2018 answer text <p>The proposed regulation changes do not ‘create’ Accountable Care Organisations (ACOs). It is the awarding of an ACO contract by local commissioners that would create an ACO. The regulations simply ensure that current rules continue to apply to any ACO contract. NHS England has promised to publicly consult on the ACO contract before it is used anywhere in the NHS.</p><p><br> The Department will not bring forward legislation until NHS England has consulted on the draft ACO contract.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 06/02/2018 16:13:57 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2018 answer text <p>In accordance with voluntary arrangements introduced in 2016, the police write to the GP of those applying for a firearms licence to request relevant information regarding the applicant’s health before the firearms licence is issued. We know that there are significant variations in how GPs now respond to this request and we have been discussing with the police, the relevant medical bodies and representatives of shooting organisations how greater consistency can be achieved in England and Wales. This includes the issue of fees being charged by GPs for providing initial information from a check of the applicant’s medical records, recognising that the decision whether to charge a fee and its level are matters which individual GPs have been determining.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd grouped question UIN 126056 question first answered 06/02/2018 16:09:39 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
