This includes wider and more integrated care pathways, accelerated work on prevention and the determinants of health, new leadership in the National Health Service and new governance arrangements. The new ICB geographies will adopt new ways of working to ensure that the needs of local populations are responded to.</p> answering member printed Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist question first answered 26/09/2022 12:03:13 answering member 4582 label Biography information for Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the delays to discharge from hospitals owing to the lack of availability of social care; and what steps they intend to take to address this.
tabling member printed	Baroness McIntosh of Pickering
uin	HL2231
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/09/2022 answer text <p>We are working with NHS England and local government to monitor and address discharge delays. NHS England’s data shows that on 31 August there were 13,195 patients in hospital in England who no longer meet the criteria to reside. However, this data does not record whether those patients are awaiting a care home placement or care at home.</p><p>In December 2021, the Department established the National Hospital Discharge Taskforce with membership from local and central government, the National Health Service to identify long-term, sustainable measures to reduce delayed discharges. The Taskforce launched a ‘100-day discharge challenge’ in July 2022, focusing on 10 best practices for use in hospitals. Integrated care systems and local areas have been invited to submit expressions of interest to become ‘discharge frontrunners’ to facilitate the sharing of good practice and ideas to ease discharge pressures. In addition, we are simplifying the recruitment of eligible workers from overseas to allow social care employers to fill vacancies.</p> answering member printed Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist question first answered 26/09/2022 12:05:42 answering member 4582 label Biography information for Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist

uin	HL2255
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/09/2022 answer text <p>There has been no change to the offer of COVID-19 vaccinations for children aged five to 11 years old.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the health risks, if any, posed by three-weekly rubbish collections during hot weather.
tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL2150
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government has not made an assessment of the health risks of three-weekly collections. Currently only a small minority of local authorities in England provide a three-weekly residual waste collection. The Government supports frequent and comprehensive rubbish and recycling collections. We want to ensure that householders are not inconvenienced by being unable to get rid of putrescent or smelly waste weekly or having insufficient capacity to recycle or to remove residual waste.</p><p>Through new powers in the Environment Act 2021, local authorities will be required to provide a separate food waste collection to every household in England. Local authorities must implement at least weekly food waste collections and should continue to provide residual waste collections at an appropriate frequency, to ensure they are meeting their legal duty and to prevent any build-up of waste that could be harmful to public health.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 26/09/2022 13:21:27 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon
