question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they expect the National Health Service to operate at a deficit for 2014; and what assessment they have made of the impact of any such deficit on performance.

uin	HL3194
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>The Department group contains almost five hundred separate National Health Service organisations. The Department is required to contain the total spending of all of those organisations within a set of financial controls operated by HM Treasury and approved by Parliament. Despite significant pressures, the Department expects to contain spending within these financial controls in 2014-15.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Alongside financial balance, maintaining performance against waiting time standards is a priority for the Government. The NHS is experiencing unprecedented demand for its services from a growing, ageing population with complex health needs which is making delivery of consistently high quality, timely care within its budget ever more challenging. Performance against a range of quality measures remains high but some patients are not receiving treatment as soon as the Government would like. Robust year-round operational resilience planning and performance management, backed by additional funding, is in place to help the NHS recover performance against waiting time standards in 2014-15.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 04/12/2014 12:19:20 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what National Health Service datasets are available to compare the mental and physical health of people from Gypsy, Traveller and Roma communities with that of the rest of the population; and what those sources yield by way of trend information since 2011.
tabling member printed	Baroness Whitaker
uin	HL3197
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>National Health Service datasets do not enable comparisons to be made between the mental and physical health of the Gypsy, Traveller and Roma communities with that of the rest of the population. These datasets – such as the Mental Health and Learning Disabilities dataset – use the nationally mandated ethnicity categories from the NHS data dictionary, based on the 2001 census groups. These groups did not include Gypsy, Traveller and Roma communities. The 2011 census included a new ethnic category group for Gypsy or Irish Traveller.</p><p> </p><p>The National Inclusion Health Board’s report, <em>Hidden Needs: identifying vulnerable groups in data collections: vulnerable migrants, gypsies and travellers, homeless people and sex workers </em>published in March 2014 recommended the adoption of the 2011 census ethnic classification by the NHS data dictionary. The Department, the NHS, Public Health England, and the Health and Social Care Information Centre are considering how this recommendation could be implemented whilst ensuring data consistency.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 04/12/2014 15:51:00 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
