answer text <p>The Government agrees that more mesothelioma research is needed and has taken measures to stimulate an increase in the level of research activity.</p><p>Patients, carers, clinicians and funders have worked in partnership to identify what the priorities in research are. Following a survey and a workshop, the top 10 mesothelioma research priorities were announced in December 2014. The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) published a final report from the Priority Setting Partnership in July 2015. In advance of the identification of research questions by this partnership, the NIHR highlighted to the research community that it wanted to encourage research applications in mesothelioma.</p><p>The NIHR subsequently invited researchers to apply for mesothelioma research funding, in particular to address the research questions identified through the partnership. Eight NIHR programmes participated in this themed call. Fifteen individual applications were received, of which two have been approved for funding.</p><p>In addition, the NIHR Research Design Service continues to be able to help prospective applicants develop competitive research proposals. This service is well-established and has</p><p>10 regional bases across England. It supports researchers to develop and design high-quality proposals for submission to NIHR itself and also to other national, peer-reviewed funding competitions for applied health or social care research.</p><p>The National Cancer Research Institute is facilitating ongoing dialogue between relevant research funders on the topic of mesothelioma, to discuss what the barriers to research are and what is needed to stimulate research in the field.</p><p>The Chancellor’s Budget Report committed £5 million of LIBOR fines over the next four years for the National Mesothelioma Centre.</p><p>The Department has received recent representations relating to funding of mesothelioma research from the Asbestos Victims Support Groups’ Forum UK and from several hon. Members on behalf of constituents.</p>

answer text <p>With NHS England, we are making changes to provide more flexibility for practices to meet the needs of patients. We have invested £175 million via the GP Access Fund to commission 57 schemes across the country. In total 18 million patients in 2,500 practices have benefited from improved access to general practice.</p><p> </p><p>The GP Access Fund is promoting greater innovation in how practices offer access. This could be, for example, through networks of practices offering shared clinics at evenings and weekends.</p><p> </p><p>The first independent report on the national evaluation of wave one schemes looked at how schemes have provided more general practitioner appointments and expanded the type of patient appointments to improve patient and staff satisfaction. A second national evaluation report will be published soon with updated results.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Community pharmacy is a vital part of the National Health Service and can play an even greater role. In the Spending Review the Government re-affirmed the need for the NHS to deliver £22 billion in efficiency savings by 2020/21 as set out in the NHS’s own plan, the Five Year Forward View. Community pharmacy is a core part of NHS primary care and has an important contribution to make as the NHS rises to these challenges. The Government believes efficiencies can be made without compromising the quality of services or public access to them. Our aim is to ensure that those community pharmacies upon which people depend continue to thrive and so we are consulting on the introduction of a Pharmacy Access Scheme, which will provide more NHS funds to certain pharmacies compared to others, considering factors such as location and the health needs of the local population.</p><p> </p><p>We are not able to assess which pharmacies may close because we do not know the financial viability of individual businesses or the extent to which they derive income from services commissioned locally by the NHS or local authorities or have non-NHS related income.</p>

answer text <p>NHS England does not split the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) programme allocation across service categories. CCGs receive an annual allocation calculated by reference to the size of population they commission for, and it is up to the CCG to decide how to spend it, taking into account national policy considerations and a local assessment of need.</p><p>CCGs are required to submit their spending plans and their annual accounts to NHS England. NHS England reviews spending, including for mental health (MH), through the CCG assurance process.</p><p>NHS England has made a requirement of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in the planning guidance for 2015/16, The Forward View Into Action: Planning Guidance for 2015/16, that each CCG’s spending on MH services in 2015/16 should increase in real terms, and grow by at least as much as each CCG’s overall funding allocation increase.</p><p>CCG actual and planned spend (not funding) can be split between MH and other categories of expenditure. The table below shows CCG MH spend for Liverpool CCG, for Merseyside CCGs and nationally for all CCGs. These figures are actual spend for 2013/14 and 2014/15 and planned spend for 2015/16:</p><table><tbody><tr><td></td><td><p>2013/14<br>Outturn <br>£k</p></td><td>2014/15<br>Outturn<br>£k</td><td>2015/16<br>Outturn<br>£k</td></tr><tr><td><p>Liverpool CCG Total</p></td><td><p>76,335</p></td><td><p>85,500</p></td><td><p>89,609</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Merseyside CCGTotal</p></td><td><p>181,521</p></td><td><p>209,004</p></td><td><p>217,948</p></td></tr><tr><td>EnglandCCGsTotal</td><td><p>7,818,924</p></td><td><p>8,289,153</p></td><td><p>8,602,990</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Specialised health services, primary care and other directly commissioned services includes some spend on MH services. This direct commissioning spend on MH services is not routinely split into the different categories of expenditure and is not included in the figures in the table above.</p>

Diagnoses or injuries that are not attributable at all to alcohol will have an AAF of zero.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>These figures are derived by summing all AAFs for the relevant admissions and should therefore only be interpreted as an estimate of the number of admissions that can be attributed to alcohol.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In addition, partial AAFs are not applicable to children aged under 16 years, therefore figures for this age group relate only to wholly – attributable admissions.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Sum of AAFs<sup>1</sup> of finished admission episodes<sup>2 </sup>(FAEs) for (a) all admissions and (b) emergency admissions via a GP by strategic health authority of treatment for 2012-13</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Strategic Health Authority of Treatment</p></td><td><p>Emergency admission</p><p>via a GP</p></td><td><p>Hospital admissions</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>4,835</p></td><td><p>85,872</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>11,686</p></td><td><p>202,278</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Yorkshire And The Humber</p></td><td><p>7,694</p></td><td><p>133,076</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East Midlands</p></td><td><p>5,796</p></td><td><p>83,266</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>8,660</p></td><td><p>134,613</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East of England</p></td><td><p>7,813</p></td><td><p>121,948</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>1,512</p></td><td><p>181,824</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East Coast</p></td><td><p>4,709</p></td><td><p>90,870</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South Central</p></td><td><p>5,909</p></td><td><p>68,867</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>11,843</p></td><td><p>129,849</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total <sup>3</sup></p></td><td><p>70,457</p></td><td><p>1,232,464</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Activity in English NHS Hospitals and English NHS commissioned activity in the independent sector.</p><p> </p><p><em>Source</em>: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), The Health &amp; Social Care Information Centre</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Notes:</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>1. Alcohol–related admissions</p><p> </p><p>The number of alcohol-related admissions is based on the methodology developed by the North West Public Health Observatory (NWPHO), which uses 48 indicators for alcohol-related illnesses, determining the proportion of a wide range of diseases and injuries that can be partly attributed to alcohol as well as those that are, by definition, wholly attributable to alcohol. Further information on these proportions can be found at http://www.nwph.net/nwpho/publications/AlcoholAttributableFractions.pdf</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The AAF is set to 1 (100%) where the admission is considered to be entirely due to alcohol, e.g. in the case of alcoholic liver disease - these records are described as wholly alcohol attributable.</p><p> </p><p>The alcohol attributable fraction is set to a value greater than 0 but less than 1 according to the NWPHO definition, e.g. the alcohol fraction of an admission with a primary diagnosis of C00 - malignant neoplasm of lip, where the patient is male and between 65 and 74 is 0.44 - these records are described as partly alcohol attributable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>These wholly and partly attributable fractions can be aggregated to supply an estimate of activity which can be considered wholly or partly attributable to alcohol.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Partly AAFs are not applicable to children under 16. Therefore figures for this age group relate only to wholly-attributable admissions, where the attributable fraction is one.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>2. Finished admission episodes</p><p> </p><p>A finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>3. &quot;Total&quot; Strategic Health Authority of Treatment</p><p> </p><p>Note that the &quot;Total&quot; SHA of Treatment includes patients treated in Wales.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
