answer text <p>The UK Foundation Programme Office (UKFPO) manages the national application process for the UK Foundation Programme, on behalf of the four statutory education bodies for the United Kingdom. The UKFPO changed the allocation process for the programme this year to a Preference Informed Allocation method. This consisted of applicants being given a computer-generated rank, and removed the requirement for them to sit the Situational Judgement Test. This change was based on engagement with stakeholders, including the Medical Schools Council, and the British Medical Association.</p><p>When confirming the move to the new system last year, the UKFPO set out that once implemented, it would be kept under constant review, to make sure it is working well for applicants. The UKFPO has confirmed that 75% of applicants received their first choice of programme this year, a 4% increase on last year.</p> more like this

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 text <p>Employers in the National Health Service offer a broad range of salary sacrifice schemes, which have varying value. The interaction with the national minimum wage (NMW) must be considered for all employees that participate in one or more of these schemes, to ensure that participation does not breach HM Revenue and Customs’ rules. The Department is currently working with employers in the NHS to understand the potential impacts of the NMW increase on access to salary sacrifice schemes for all NHS staff.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Dentistry Recovery Plan will make dental services faster, simpler, and fairer for patients, and will fund approximately 2.5 million additional appointments, or more than 1.5 million additional courses of dental treatment. We will further support dentists by raising the minimum Units of Dental Activity (UDA) rate to £28 this year, making National Health Service work more attractive and sustainable. NHS dental activity, as measured by Courses of Treatments delivered, has increased by 23% between 2021/22 and 2022/23. The number of UDAs commissioned and delivered is published each month on the NHS Business Services Authority Open Data Portal, which currently holds data from April 2016 to January 2024.

answer text <p>The nine joint committee arrangements arose from a robust process, which included a readiness assessment, the Pre-Delegation Assessment Framework, made between integrated care boards (ICBs) and NHS England regional teams, followed by a National Moderation Panel and final decision taken by the NHS England Board. The NHS England Board papers for February 2023, December 2023, and March 2024 are available respectively at the following links:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/board-2-feb-23-item-7-delegation-of-spec-comm.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/board-2-feb-23-item-7-delegation-of-spec-comm.pdf</a></p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/specialised-commissioning-2024-25-next-steps-with-delegation-to-integrated-care-boards/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/specialised-commissioning-2024-25-next-steps-with-delegation-to-integrated-care-boards/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/specialised-commissioning-update-on-specialised-services-for-delegation/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/specialised-commissioning-update-on-specialised-services-for-delegation/</a></p><p>The process concluded that a transitional year of joint commissioning would offer the most secure and stable transition towards delegation. NHS England is working alongside ICBs to ensure that delegation agreements are in place, including ensuring appropriate collaborative arrangements are developed to support ICB commissioning of specialised services. These arrangements will be monitored by NHS England through its assurance processes for specialised services.</p><p>On 28 March 2024, the NHS England Board approved the recommendation that the 32 specialised services listed in Annex A of Item 7 of Specialised Commissioning: update on specialised services for delegation, would be retained by NHS England.</p><p>Regardless of delegation status, NHS England will remain the accountable commissioner for the entire portfolio of specialised services, and as part of this role, will monitor the effectiveness of delegation and the lists of services. It should be noted that NHS England does have the ability to bring a service back under national commissioning control, under the safeguards put in place to support delegation.</p><p>All specialised services, whether retained or delegated, must comply with nationally developed standards, including service specifications and clinical commissioning polices. ICBs will be able to use specialised services funding to transform and develop services and pathways across their core and specialised responsibilities, to improve quality of care and equity of access and value, whilst also complying with national standards.</p><p>Whilst delegation is not an end in itself, moving to ICB-led commissioning supports a focus on population health management across whole pathways of care, and gives ICBs the powers they need to improve the quality of services, tackle health inequalities, and ensure best value. NHS England set out in detail the benefits of greater ICB involvement in the commissioning of appropriate specialised services in the Roadmap for Integrating Specialised Services within Integrated Care Systems, and subsequent board papers. This roadmap is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/PAR1440-specialised-commissioning-roadmap-addendum-may-2022.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/PAR1440-specialised-commissioning-roadmap-addendum-may-2022.pdf</a></p><p>These plans have been developed in close collaboration with NHS England’s regional teams, ICBs, specialised service providers, clinicians, and patients, and represent the outcome of a thorough assessment of ICB system readiness, and a comprehensive analysis of services to determine their suitability and readiness for more integrated commissioning. During 2024/25, specialised services commissioning teams will remain employed by NHS England. NHS England has a framework for commissioning support, and accesses a range of services from commissioning support units. For example, data and business intelligence, and programme and project management expertise and resources.</p>
