answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2023 answer text <p>To support assurance of integrated care board (ICB) readiness for taking on greater responsibility for in-scope specialised services, a pre-delegation assessment framework was developed, which set out the criteria that ICBs should meet prior to assuming responsibility for the functions, and builds on the primary care pharmaceutical, general ophthalmic and dental commissioning functions framework. ICBs, with the support of their regional team, undertook a self-assessment against the pre-delegation assessment framework for specialised commissioning. Final decisions will be taken by the NHS England board later this year.</p><p>The NHS England Neurology Transformation Programme has developed, in partnership with stakeholders, a new whole pathway neurology model to support ICBs to deliver the right service, at the right time for all neurology patients including providing care closer to home. A toolkit is being developed to support ICBs to understand and implement this new model. It will provide them with resources and information they will need to drive transformation in their neurology services, as they take on delegated responsibility for commissioning specialised neurology services from April 2024 onwards.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 16/11/2023 13:43:12 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2023 answer text <p>NHS England will only delegate specialised services to integrated care boards (ICBs) following a moderation process. This may mean that ICBs take on responsibility for commissioning specific specialised services at varying points in time. In parallel, NHS England is taking forward work to update service specifications for specialised services. Some specifications will need only minor changes and these will be progressed via a light touch process, whilst others require a deeper review which will take longer to complete.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 16/11/2023 12:42:17 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2023 answer text <p>We will not define the priorities of the Highly Specialised Services Programme Board.

uin	193617
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2023 answer text <p>Pharmacy openings and closures in England are published by NHS Business Services Authority. Between 31 December 2022 and 30 June 2023, the number of pharmacies reduced by 222. This reduction was mainly driven by the large multiples reducing their portfolios. To address the disproportionately high rate of closures of 100-hour pharmacies, legislation was amended in April to allow those pharmacies to reduce their hours to a minimum of 72. The Department is monitoring the market and access to pharmaceutical services remains good, with 80% of people in England living within 20 minutes walking distance of a community pharmacy and twice as many pharmacies in the more deprived areas.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 19/07/2023 10:21:52 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
