answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>There has been no formal assessment of the use of previous Adult Dental Health Surveys. The comparable nature of the data facilitates the following uses: for national and local policy makers to design, implement and monitor policies on oral health and dental services; for dental commissioners in NHS England to ensure commissioned services are meeting the needs of the population; for local authorities to fulfil a statutory function to assess the oral health needs of their populations - to inform the adult oral health elements of their joint strategic needs assessments and their local adult oral health improvement plans.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 17/07/2017 12:58:24 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>Employers in the National Health Service are responsible for assessing risks to staff and addressing those risks. Any abuse of NHS staff and primary care contractors is unacceptable and should not be tolerated. Any form of abuse should be reported and primary care organisations should have no hesitation in involving the police. The role of NHS Protect was to develop national guidance to assist NHS organisations locally in their security management work. Comprehensive and detailed guidance is available to NHS employers to assist them in assessing and managing the risks accordingly and involving the police where appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>The standards for security management work are imposed through the relevant clauses of the standard commissioning contract between commissioners and providers. It is commissioners’ responsibility to ensure that security management standards are met in accordance with the contract. NHS England is responsible for the standard commissioning contract and the clauses within it and the standards to which it refers.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 17/07/2017 14:40:44 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the cost to the public purse is of NHS psoriasis patients continuing their current treatment who do not reach the NICE goal of 75 per cent skin clearance from treatment start.
tabling member constituency	Mole Valley
tabling member printed	Sir Paul Beresford
uin	36027
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/05/2016 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has approved a number of different treatments for psoriasis as part of its technology appraisal (TA) programme, the most recent of these being Secukinumab, which was recommended as a possible treatment for people with plaque psoriasis in July 2015. The National Health Service is legally obliged to fund medicines and treatments recommended by NICE's TA programme, meaning people can access these treatments wherever they live in the country.</p><p>Information regarding the cost to the NHS of the continued treatment of psoriasis patients who do not achieve 75% skin clearance is not collected. The NICE best practice guideline <em>Psoriasis: assessment and management, </em>published in October 2012, covers approaches to diagnosis and treatment and specialist referral. The majority of TA recommended psoriasis treatments are featured in the guideline, and their success in treating psoriasis is measured using Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index. PASI is a quantitative rating score for measuring the severity of psoriatic lesions based on area coverage and plaque appearance. In most cases, NICE defines an adequate response to treatment as one that includes a 75% reduction in a PASI score. The NICE guidance can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg153/resources/psoriasis-assessment-and-management-35109629621701" target="_blank">www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg153/resources/psoriasis-assessment-and-management-35109629621701</a></p><p>For patients who do not responded adequately to either topical treatment or biological therapies, such as those recommended by the NICE TA programme, the guidance recommends referral to a specialised service. NHS England commissions specialised dermatology services nationally and has set out what providers must have in place in order to deliver specialised dermatology care, as well as defining referral criteria. For psoriasis patients, referrals are appropriate where their condition is severe and they have not responded to NICE approved biological therapies. More information on specialised dermatology services can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/a12-spec-dermatology.pdf" target="_blank">www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/a12-spec-dermatology.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison grouped question UIN 36026 question first answered 04/05/2016 11:42:07 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
