answer text <p>The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will not affect the way the United Kingdom Government runs the National Health Service. It has been made clear by negotiators from both the United States and the European Union that it is up to the UK alone to decide how the NHS is run and any assertion that TTIP will undermine the Government’s control of the NHS is a red herring.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The TTIP could offer great benefits to British business and for British jobs. Greater consistency in existing and new regulatory requirements would make it easier for companies - especially small and medium enterprises - to access markets and, for patients, potentially help to increase access to new medicines and medical devices.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>National Health Service funding has risen in each year of this parliament and is £12.7 billion higher in cash terms in 2014-15 than in 2010-11. The NHS is on track to make up to £20 billion efficiency savings this parliament to reinvest into frontline care. We are confident that it will continue to make the efficiency improvements necessary to meet rising demand and protect the quality of the services delivered.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In a recent report commissioned by the Department, Frontier Economics has estimated that poor care could be costing the NHS up to £2.5 billion every year. In order to focus attention on the harms contributing to these costs and the savings that could be reinvested, a poster and leaflet will go out to all NHS hospitals to display this vital information to their staff.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have introduced a wide range of measures, including the Sign Up to Safety Campaign, Patient Safety Collaboratives, a new tougher inspection regime for providers and a reformed National Patient Safety Alert System to reduce mistakes in practice. In order to promote a culture of openness and transparency, that will enable organisations to learn from their mistakes, there will be the duty of candour in the event of serious harm. We are also publishing information on hospital performance, including staffing levels, as part of the new MyNHS website.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>On 24 April 2013, the independent <em>Review of the Regulation of Cosmetic Interventions</em>, chaired by Sir Bruce Keogh, was published. A copy has already been placed in the Library.</p><p> </p><p>The <em>Government Response to the Review of the Regulation of Cosmetic Interventions </em>was published on 13 February. A copy of the response has already been placed in the Library. We fully accept the principles of the Keogh review and the overwhelming majority of the recommendations. The response looks to protect the public through clear standards, better training and robust qualifications, and explores how far supervision from regulated professionals might support self-regulation of the sector.</p><p> </p><p>Officials are working with key delivery partners such as the Royal College of Surgeons who have set up an inter-specialty committee to ensure standards for cosmetic surgery and they are working with the General Medical Council on a code of ethical conduct. Health Education England (HEE) is leading on a review of training and qualifications for providers of non-surgical cosmetic interventions and those required to be responsible prescribers. On 11 September, HEE published a phase 1 report <em>Review of qualifications required for delivery of non-surgical cosmetic </em>interventions. A copy of the report is attached. Work is also underway on a pilot breast implant registry to reassure women that if problems arise they can be contacted, kept informed and called in for treatment if necessary.</p><p> </p><p>As part of this programme of work to ensure proper training and oversight of both non-surgical and surgical cosmetic interventions, we are looking at the need for legislation to ensure public protection and will consider bringing forward proposals.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Secretary of State laid out what hospital facilities were available for the treatment of Ebola patients during his statement to the House on 13 October 2014, Official Report, columns 28 to 46.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The National Health Service has a network of clinicians and infectious diseases units that work in a collaborative manner to manage patients with infectious diseases. In rare and complex infections, treatment is likely to include the use of isolation facilities with appropriate air handling and air filtration systems (for the protection of staff and public as per the Health and Safety Executive Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens guidelines). The use of beds is managed through the network and escalated as necessary based on the needs of the presenting patient. This network of units will continue to work together with NHS England to manage the current threat of Ebola as they would with any new or emerging infectious disease.</p><p> </p> more like this
