answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>We recognise that it is important that the fundamental rights of people continue to be respected throughout their lives and that the specific needs of older people are recognised and respected.</p><p> </p><p>We have previously considered the merits of introducing an older person’s commissioner. However, we believe that the duties that would be covered by such a role are covered by work elsewhere in the system.</p><p> </p><p>Establishing an older person’s commissioners would also have significant costs associated with it. Net expenditure in the first year that Northern Ireland’s Older People’s Commissioner was set up was around £101,674 in 2011-12 and has since increased to £876,272 in 2017-18. Recent estimates indicate that there are around 33% more over 65s in England than in Northern Ireland, suggesting such a body would create significant annual costs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to making this country one of the best places to grow old in.</p><p>Across the health and social care system in England there are already systems in place, that are able to listen to the voices of older people and respond to their concerns.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 05/11/2019 14:26:57 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>Under the National Health Service complaints procedure, complaints can be made either to the provider or the commissioner of the service in question. It is for the NHS body receiving the complaint to ensure the complaint is handled effectively at a local level. Where a complaint relates to primary care services, NHS England and NHS Improvement (as the service commissioner) may have a role to support complaints handling.</p><p>If a complainant is not satisfied with the outcome or handling of a complaint at local level, they can refer their complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.</p><p>Where a complaint concerns multiple bodies, NHS organisations, local authorities, primary care providers or independent sector providers have a duty to cooperate, as ‘responsible bodies’, to ensure there is agreement on how the complaint should be taken forward.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 05/11/2019 14:27:33 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
