question text To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the findings published by Age UK on 10 June 2020 that some care home residents are being required to pay extra fees to cover costs associated with the covid-19 outbreak, what assessment he has made of the (a) implications of those findings for his policies on adult social care and (b) likelihood that the inability of care home residents to meet those extra costs could precipitate care home closures. more like this

answer text <p>Where individuals are not eligible for financial support from their local authority, they make their own arrangements for care services and pay the fees. This is known as being a ‘self-funder’. The fees are set out in a contract between the individual and the care provider. The Government has no say in these private arrangements.</p><p>A local authority must regularly reassess a person’s ability to meet the cost of any charges to take account of any changes to their income and assets.</p><p>We recognise the pressures that COVID-19 is placing on the social care system. We have already provided £3.2 billion to local authorities and have made a £600 million Infection Control Fund available to care homes to allow them to take additional steps to reduce the spread.</p><p>Under the Care Act 2014, local authorities are required to shape their whole local markets to ensure that they are sustainable, diverse and offer high quality care and support for people in their local area. The Care Act places a duty on local authorities to ensure that people continue to receive the services they need if their adult social care provider is no longer able to carry on delivering services.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p>

answer text <p>There has been an impressive response to the pandemic by the National Health Service, with staff and organisations rapidly adapting to changing circumstances and implementing new ways of working; including the greater use of digital tools and the growth in the availability and use of remote consultations. This is helping to minimise the spread of COVID-19 by supporting patients to stay at home, while still enabling them to receive the care they need, and to allow general practitioners and clinicians to work remotely. The NHS has already made a commitment in the NHS Long Term Plan that every patient will have the right to be offered digital-first primary care by 2023-24. We will learn from these new ways of accessing services so that subject to patient and clinician preference, and clinical safety, they are part of delivery going forward.</p> more like this

Individual trusts must decide what specific mandatory training they deem appropriate for their employees.</p><p>Training programmes for healthcare professionals must meet the standards set by the regulatory body for their profession. Training curricula for doctors emphasise the skills and approaches that a doctor must develop in order to ensure accurate and timely diagnoses and treatment plans for their patients. While medical and other clinical curricula equip healthcare professionals with the skills necessary to consider a patient’s mental health during treatment, individual trusts are responsible for mandating training for their employees and setting appropriate policies for assessing and treating patients.</p> more like this
