answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2023 answer text <p>The National Homecare Medicines Committee provided evidence about an electronic prescribing system (EPS) for the Homecare Medicine Service to the House of Lords Public Services Select Committee as part of its recent inquiry into the Service. The Committee published its report on 16 November 2023 which included recommendations on Information Technology interoperability and electronic prescribing. The Government welcomed this report and will respond in due course. This report is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld5803/ldselect/pubserv/269/269.pdf" target="_blank">https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld5803/ldselect/pubserv/269/269.pdf</a></p><p>NHS England and the National Homecare Medicines Committee Digital Sub-Group have been working to develop an output-based specification to support electronic prescribing and the transmission of prescriptions using the national EPS. Adoption of this is dependent on IT suppliers, as well as the development capability and priorities of the National Health Service EPS Product Team.</p><p>It is too early to give an indicative timetable for this work. NHS England has, however, set up a working group to explore the feasibility of whether the current EPS can be utilised across Homecare Medicines Services. This group is likely to report at the end of April 2024.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 30/11/2023 15:41:01 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2023 answer text <p>The welfare of the child is the family court’s paramount concern and any decisions about future arrangements for children are based on this fundamental principle.</p><p>In February 2022, we launched the Investigative Approach Pathfinder court pilot in Dorset and North Wales. This pilot aims to improve the experiences for children and their parents in private law proceedings and particularly those who may need additional support, such as domestic abuse survivors. A key part of this is a stronger ‘voice of the child’ approach to ensure that, where appropriate, children’s wishes and views are central to proceedings. Evaluation of the pilot is ongoing.</p><p>In May 2023, the government published an update to the Implementation Plan for the “Assessing risk of harm to children and parents in private law children cases” report, which demonstrates the good progress we have made to date and reiterates our determination to continue to respond recommendations of the report.</p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 29/11/2023 12:49:25 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2023 answer text <p>In addition to our ongoing Pension Credit communications campaign, in July we launched a more targeted ‘Invitation to Claim’ trial. Approximately 2,500 pensioner households across ten local authority areas in Great Britain were sent letters encouraging them to contact DWP and make a claim. The areas were chosen to be representative of urban, rural and coastal communities and target households were identified as most likely to be missing out because they were claiming Housing Benefit but not Pension Credit.</p><p> </p><p>The objectives of the trial are to learn whether using data in this way can help accurately identify eligible households; and whether directly contacting households in this way is an effective way of boosting Pension Credit applications.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 28/11/2023 11:04:25 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
