NHS England commissions services for patients, adults and children, with EDS from specialist rheumatology centres. A Complex EDS service for adults and children is being delivered at two centres in England, London North West University Healthcare Trust and Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust.

Some patients may also be seen in more local rheumatology services, which are commissioned by clinical commissioning groups.</p><p>From October 2018, the National Genomic Test Directory has been in place and specifies the genomic tests that will be commissioned directly by NHS England and the patients who will be eligible to access this testing for diagnostic purposes.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are a group of rare inherited connected tissue disorders, affecting around one in 20,000 people. EDS can go undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed, for many years.</p><p>Building upon the success of the 100,000 Genomes Project, in which EDS was included as part of the rare disease arm, the NHS Genomics Medicine Service (GMS) was launched in October 2018. The GMS brings together existing clinical genetics services and new genomic laboratory infrastructure to provide consistent and equitable access to genomic medicine.</p><p>The National Genomic Test Directory which underpins the GMS was updated in March 2019 and specifies which genomic tests are commissioned by the National Health Service in England, the technology by which they are available, and the patients who will be eligible to access a test. EDS with a likely monogenic cause is included in the National Test Directory.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 01/05/2019 16:06:15 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>Guidance regarding the NHS-funded Nursing Care rate and a care home resident’s overall care fees, can be found in the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care.</p><p>This makes clear that the care home provider should set an overall fee level for the provision of care and accommodation, which should include any registered nursing care provided by them. If an individual is eligible for NHS-funded Nursing Care the clinical commissioning group will pay the NHS-funded Nursing Care rate direct to the care home, unless there is an agreement in place for this to be paid via a third party (e.g. a local authority). The balance of the fee will then be paid by the individual, their representative or the local authority unless other contracting arrangements have been agreed.</p><p>Contracts between individuals and/or local authorities, with providers, should have terms and conditions which are transparent and fair, including setting out what happens if a resident is admitted to hospital or what happens if a resident dies.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 01/05/2019 16:01:41 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
