answer text <p>The National Health Service and the wider scientific community are currently working to better understand the disease course of the COVID-19 virus, including the severity and duration of symptoms. The UK Research and Innovation – National Institute for Health Research ‘Rapid Response Rolling Call’ has funded a large post-hospitalisation study. The study, announced in July, will establish a national consortium and a research platform embedded within clinical care to understand and improve long-term outcomes for survivors following hospitalisation with COVID-19.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England and NHS Improvement have worked with the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust to develop a digital, interactive, personalised recovery programme for people recovering from COVID-19. The new ‘Your COVID Recovery’ service, which was announced on 5 July, forms part of NHS plans to expand access to COVID-19 rehabilitation treatments for those who have survived the virus but have not fully recovered.</p>

answer text <p>The Digital First programme supports the delivery of access to primary care and helps patients and their carers manage their health. The NHS Long Term Plan commits that every patient will have the right to be offered digital-first primary care by 2023-24. An independent evaluation of Digital First has been commissioned by NHS England and NHS Improvement and is now underway. The evaluation will provide evidence on the impact of online consultation systems on patients, general practitioner practices and the wider health and social care system and will be used to inform policy and other digital initiatives. Other National Health Service settings have implemented new digital ways of working during the COVID-19 pandemic and there will be much to learn from these.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>While schools have been closed to some pupils the Government has taken steps to support those who have had restricted opportunity to exercise while at home. As part of its guidance on remote education provision the Government has published online educational resources approved by subject experts for schools and parents to help children to take part in PE and physical activity. In addition, Sport England have free online content to help children and their families get active at home through their Join the Movement campaign.</p><p> </p><p>The Change4Life website also includes information on how to keep children active, including links to online resources and providers, such as games and activities, as well as advice for accessible activities for disabled children and is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/change4life/activities" target="_blank">https://www.nhs.uk/change4life/activities</a></p><p> </p><p>The Government is working to ensure that schools are fully supported as they welcome more children back to school and schools are able to give pupils opportunities to be physically active during the school day.</p><p> </p><p>Many of the measures in the three chapters of the childhood obesity plan will have an impact on tackling obesity. These include the soft drinks industry levy, sugar reduction and wider calorie reformulation programme, restricting promotions and calorie labelling in restaurants which will improve children’s eating habits and reduce the amount of sugar they consume.</p><p>We remain committed to reviewing what more can be done and will continue to monitor progress and emerging evidence.</p><p> </p>

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>
