	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>NHS England's delegation agreement with the integrated care boards (ICBs) requires each ICB to establish effective, safe, efficient, and economic arrangements for the commissioning of delegated specialised services, with particular reference to statutory obligations relating to health and care bodies, such as the triple aim.</p><p>The delegation agreement supports these responsibilities, including following all relevant legislation, guidance, and good practice. In commissioning delegation specialised services, ICBs must: consider how they can meet their legal duties to involve patients and the public in shaping the provision of services; work with local communities, under-represented groups, and those with protected characteristics; consider how they can address health inequalities; assist in the development of national standards, including service specifications and clinical commissioning policies; support the development of local clinical leadership and expertise in respect of specialised services; support specialised clinical networks and clinical reference groups, including participating in development and agreement of the annual plan for relevant clinical networks; and work with providers as commissioners of specialised services, including management of contracts and the annual contracting round, financial management, and working with providers on identification and management of any issues relating to quality of services.</p><p>Appropriate oversight and assurance arrangements are in place to assure the commissioning capability and capacity of ICBs, and so that NHS England, as the accountable commissioner, has the right mechanisms where support or intervention is needed, regardless of whether a service is retained by NHS England or falls within scope of delegated commissioning arrangements.</p>

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2024 answer text <p>The Government is working with NHS England to improve perioperative care. This should ensure best practice guidelines are implemented across surgery clinical care pathways, including for prosthetic infections. In May 2023, NHS England published guidance setting out five core perioperative care requirements relating to the care of adult patients awaiting planned inpatient surgery. These measures address the key objective of identifying health needs as early as possible in perioperative pathways, and then using time on the waiting list to optimise health. The NHS England National Elective Recovery and Outpatients programme is working with NHS England regional teams to help oversee and support compliance, and will continue to do so throughout 2024/25.</p>

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>We are aware of the supply issues with the three enzyme replacement therapies, Creon 10,000 gastro-resistant capsules, Creon 25,000 gastro-resistant capsules, and Nutrizym 22 capsules. These are due to manufacturing and active pharmaceutical ingredient constraints. The Department will be issuing updated guidance to healthcare professionals regarding treatment of patients while there is a disruption to the supply of these pancreatic enzyme replacement therapies. We are having regular conversations with the suppliers of these products to help drive the resolution of these issues as quickly as possible, for example by expediting orders and increasing forecasts. We are also working with specialist importers to source unlicensed imports from abroad.</p><p>Whilst we can’t always prevent supply issues, we have a range of well-established tools and processes to mitigate risks to patients. These include close and regular engagement with suppliers, use of alternative strengths or forms of a medicine to allow patients to remain on the same product, expediting regulatory procedures, sourcing unlicensed imports from abroad, adding products to the restricted exports and hoarding list, use of Serious Shortage Protocols, and issuing National Health Service communications to provide management advice and information on the issue to healthcare professionals, so they can advise and support their patients.</p>

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>Cutting waiting lists for elective care is one of this Prime Minister’s top priorities. The Delivery Plan for Tackling the COVID-19 Backlog of Elective Care outlines how the National Health Service will bring down waiting times across all elective services. To support this plan and tackle waiting lists the Government plans to spend more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25 to drive up and protect elective activity. We are making good progress on tackling the longest waits, to ensure patients get the care they need when they need it.</p><p> </p><p>In July 2022, the NHS successfully met the first target in our plan to virtually eliminate waits of over two years, excluding patients waiting by choice or due to complex specialties. The NHS then worked hard to deliver the next ambition to eliminate waits of 18 months or more. Thanks to the incredible work of NHS staff, NHS England's official statistics show that as of March 2024, we have virtually eliminated waits of over 18 months.</p><p> </p><p>Referral to Treatment (RTT) waiting times data is published monthly by NHS England:</p><p>https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/rtt-waiting-times/</p><p> </p>
