	uin	42566
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2016 answer text <p>The routine assessment and management of pain is a required competency of all healthcare professionals. Many patients with chronic pain can be successfully supported and managed through routine primary and secondary care pain management services. Approaches to treatment are not all pharmacological and for some patients education in self-management approaches for their condition may be also be appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>It is important that patients with the most serious pain management issues are able to access specialist care. A patient whose pain is particularly difficult to manage may be referred to a specialised pain management service. Under the care of an expert multidisciplinary team, patients may be offered specialised pain management programmes specifically and more complex drug treatments. Such services are commissioned nationally by NHS England as part of its remit to deliver specialised services.</p><p> </p><p>To support clinicians in the management of pain, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has published several clinical guidelines on the treatment and management of different types of pain, such as migraine and back pain, as well as technical guidance on specific treatments, such as the use of opiates in palliative care and deep brain stimulation for chronic pain.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/07/2016 08:23:59 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2016 answer text <p>Reducing health inequalities is a priority for this Government.</p><p> </p><p>The Department takes a comprehensive and strategic approach to tackling health inequalities that addresses the wider social causes of ill health, promotes healthier lifestyles for all, tackles differences in both access to, and outcomes from, health and public health services. Action is led locally to ensure that the solutions put in place reflect the needs of individual communities.</p><p> </p><p>Achieving measureable and sustained reductions in health inequalities is integral to the Department’s <em>Shared Delivery Plan 2015-20</em>, and reflected in the Government’s mandate to NHS England, Public Health England’s (PHE’s) <em>Evidence into Action</em> and supporting strategic and business plans at national and local level. NHS England’s Business Plan for 2016/17 prioritises closing the gap for groups experiencing poorer health outcomes, a poorer experience of, and access to, healthcare. PHE is supporting local and national efforts to address health inequalities by providing knowledge and intelligence, and evidence-informed tools and advice.</p><p> </p><p>To support this, the Department has published <em>Improving outcomes and supporting transparency: A public health outcomes framework for England 2013-16. </em>The framework’s vision is to improve and protect the nation’s health and wellbeing, and improve the health of the poorest fastest. It is focused on the two high-level outcomes we want to achieve across the public health system and beyond. The first is increased healthy life expectancy; the second is reduced differences in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy between communities through greater improvements in more disadvantaged communities.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/07/2016 08:21:14 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
