answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2020 answer text <p>In response to COVID-19, the Department has published ‘CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19): Verifying Death in Times of Emergency’ guidance. This guidance is designed to clarify existing practice for the verification of death outside of hospitals and to provide a framework for safe verification of death in this COVID-19 emergency period. It is for all cases outside hospital when verification of death may be completed by people who have been trained to do so in line with their employer’s policies, including medical practitioners, registered nurses or paramedics. It is also to be exercised by other non-medical professionals, usually and normally independent of family members, who are verifying death using remote clinical support.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 18/05/2020 11:15:43 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2020 answer text <p>The Government is committed to bringing faster, gigabit-capable broadband to the whole country as soon as possible. To achieve this, we are removing the barriers to industry speeding up broadband rollout and are investing £5 billion so the hardest to reach areas are not left behind. We are promoting the DevicesDotNow campaign to get internet-enabled devices and support to vulnerable people isolated in their homes without internet access. Devices are being distributed through community organisations that are also providing the support needed to enable people lacking digital skills and confidence to use them. NHSX in collaboration with NHS England and NHS Improvement are working to develop a standardised training package to train Digital Ambassadors to support those with no or low digital skills in accessing health services online. General practitioner practices are also still offering appointments that can be booked over the phone and having phone consultations with patients and inviting them into the practice where necessary.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 18/05/2020 15:30:30 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
