question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether financial considerations are involved when decisions are made by NHS trusts on the possibility of brain injured children receiving ventilation at home following a tracheostomy.
tabling member constituency	West Ham
tabling member printed	Lyn Brown
uin	293509
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>There are no current plans to make such an assessment.</p><p>NHS England directly commissions services for the care of long-term ventilated children, up to 90 days post the fit for discharge date. This includes children who are ventilated through tracheostomy. Clinical commissioning groups are generally responsible for commissioning home ventilation services for children and decide, on an individual basis, what particular package of care should be put in place for the child in question, in conjunction with local services, education and housing as appropriate. A decision as to whether ventilation at home after a tracheotomy is appropriate for children who have experienced irreversible brain injury will be made on the basis of each individual case and is likely to involve difficult decision making around the efficacy of ongoing care and whether continuing treatment is in the child’s best interests.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 293508 question first answered 08/10/2019 11:03:37 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>Liverpool University Hospital Trust contacted Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board in March 2019 to outline its position regarding urology services for residents of North Wales. This position was twofold:</p><p>The Trust and the Health Board agreed that new referrals of bladder cancer patients for radical cystectomy would cease from 5 April 2019. This was due to reduced specialist surgical cover following a 12 month period of maternity leave from June 2019. Despite rigorous attempts, the Trust had been unable to provide short term cover in this area of national staff shortage. Whilst the Trust committed to treating all patients referred prior to 5 April, the acceptance of new referrals ended after this date. It was therefore considered that the best course of action for patients was for the Health Board to make alternative arrangements for new referrals.</p><p> </p><p>The Trust informed the health board that it would be enacting Trust policy ensuring that specialist urological cancer surgery was prioritised for patients within its immediate locality.</p><p> </p><p>The attached table contains the number of patients that have been treated from English and Welsh postcode at Liverpool Royal Hospital for urinary tract care in each of the last five years.</p><p> </p><p>The Urinary Tract Outpatient number of patients will give the overall number of patients from Wales receiving treatment or review.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 292119 question first answered 08/10/2019 10:16:21 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage attachment 1 file name Welsh Pats Urinary Tract (002).xlsx title PQ292118 Table
