uin	269075
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2019 answer text <p>For local authority funded care, the number of over 65s in long term care at the end of March 2018 was 387,980.</p><p>There are also a number of people who receive short term care throughout the year. However, the data we have relates to the total instances of support being given rather than the number of individuals, reflecting that some people will receive multiple packages of care. Counting the number of people would thus misrepresent the volume of service delivered. As such we are not in a position to provide this as a percentage of the population.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 01/07/2019 13:08:03 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2019 answer text <p>As in preparation for 29 March and 12 April, our contingency plans for 31 October will cover the National Health Service, social care and the independent sector and covers all medicines, medical devices and clinical consumables, supplies for clinical trials, vaccines and countermeasures, and organs and tissues for transplants.</p><p>The Department has continued to work closely with the devolved administrations, industry trade bodies and suppliers, the NHS and other key stakeholders. Prior to 29 March, the Department analysed the supply chains of 12,300 medicines, close to half a million product lines of medical devices and clinical consumables, vaccines used in national and local programmes, and essential non-clinical goods on which the health and care system relies. These analyses and assessments have been updated where necessary and will continue to be refined while a ‘no deal’ European Union exit remains a possibility. This work has informed our plans.</p><p>We are asking suppliers to analyse their supply chains and to make alternative plans if they anticipate disruption, including rerouting to alternative ports or using airfreight where necessary. Our contingency measures aim to support industry-led measures and, where required, act as a ‘last resort’ to be used only when a supplier’s alternative arrangements encounter difficulties, to ensure uninterrupted supply.</p><p>While we never give guarantees, we are confident that, if everyone – including suppliers, freight companies, international partners and the health and care system – does what they need to do, the supply of medicines and medical products should be uninterrupted in the event of a ‘no deal’ EU exit.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 27/06/2019 15:10:41 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
