star this property answer text <p>Excluding COVID-19 vaccinations, there were an average of 1.24 million appointments per working day in July 2022, compared to 1.17 million in July 2019. We have also made £520 million available to improve access and expand general practice capacity during the pandemic. To reduce unnecessary bureaucracy for general practitioners (GPs) and increase capacity for appointments, we have expanded the range of healthcare professionals who can sign fit notes and published seven principles to reduce unnecessary burdens on GPs.</p><p>We are investing at least £1.5 billion to create an additional 50 million general practice appointments by 2024 through increasing and diversifying the workforce. General practice teams include a range of other health professionals in addition to GPs, to respond to the needs of patients and we are on schedule to recruit an additional 26,000 primary care staff.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board has assessed stroke services in the North Mersey area, including Southport. It has assessed that stroke services within the region do not currently meet best practice guidelines for providing the highest quality care or maximise the effectiveness of the specialist stroke workforce.</p><p>On 4 August 2022, a proposal for a comprehensive stroke centre on the Aintree Hospital site was approved, to be located with specialist services provided by the Walton Centre and post 72 hours care provided at either Aintree, Broadgreen or Southport. This clinically-led service has been developed over the last five years and is based on national evidence for improved outcomes for patients when hyper acute stroke services are centralised.</p><p>Additional investment is also planned for Southport and Ormskirk hospital to care for stroke patients who do not need to travel to Aintree Hospital or who return to their local hospital after receiving hyper-acute stroke treatment at Aintree.</p>

star this property answer text <p>NHS England commissions a national epidermolysis bullosa (EB) service to provide diagnosis and assessment of infants, children, adolescents and adults with suspected or known EB, with treatment and long-term support. NHS England is aware that a number of innovative treatments for EB are either in trials or being considered by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). If any of these treatments are given a positive recommendation by NICE, NHS England will ensure that service provision is in place to deliver these treatments.</p><p>The Department funds research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). While the usual practice of the NIHR is not to ring-fence funds for expenditure on particular topics, the NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of health or care research, including therapies for rare conditions such as EB. These applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. In the past five years, the NIHR has funded two studies into EB with a total award value of £3,022,759 and supported the delivery of over 25 studies via the NIHR’s infrastructure.</p>
