answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2021 answer text <p>Operational Pressures Escalation Levels (OPEL) is a method used by the National Health Service to measure the stress, demand and pressure a hospital is under rather than social care systems.</p><p>Care Quality Commission-registered care homes and home care providers in the adult social care sector are monitored through the Capacity Tracker which collects data on workforce, personal protective equipment status, designated setting vacancies, infection prevention and control measures in place and vaccine rates for COVID-19 and flu. The Department also works with local authorities and social care providers to share data via its dashboard and regional teams to ensure that systems are prepared if pressures on services rise. If a trust is raised to OPEL 3 or 4, any potential resulting pressures on social care could be reflected in these monitoring systems.</p> answering member constituency Chichester answering member printed Gillian Keegan question first answered 11/10/2021 11:58:16 answering member 4680 label Biography information for Gillian Keegan
