uin	114757
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2017 answer text <p>GP at Hand is a practice that holds a General Medical Service contract. Practices are paid per weighted registered patient and, as patients register or de-register with GP at Hand, this will alter the payment to the practice. Funding follows the registered patients, so if patients are leaving their current practice for GP at Hand the funding will move to that practice. The practice list sizes are counted and payments adjusted on the first of each quarter and so any payment adjustments will be made in January.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/11/2017 17:06:52 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 16 November 2017 Question 111963 on patients: transport, for what reasons his Department will not commit​ to monitor the average duration of transfers of care.
tabling member constituency	Leigh
tabling member printed	Jo Platt
uin	114761
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2017 answer text <p>Placing a new, additional data collection requirement on National Health Service or local government organisations to track the duration of transfers of care for each individual patient would be disproportionate at this time. No one should stay in a hospital bed longer than necessary and the Government is committed to reducing delayed transfers of care (DToC). Information is collected monthly that allows progress against expectations for DToC reductions to be assessed.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 29/11/2017 17:34:21 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
