answer text <p>The Department is working closely with NHS England and NHS Improvement to support National Health Service healthcare providers ahead of winter. This includes £240 million of funding that has been made available to help patients with adult social care needs leave hospital when ready and free-up hospital capacity.</p><p>As part of a responsible Government, the Department is doing everything appropriate to prepare for European Union exit. We want to reassure patients that our plans should ensure the supply of medicines and medical products remains uninterrupted when we leave the EU on 31 October.</p><p>The Department continues to monitor and analyse overall staffing levels in the NHS and we have been monitoring leaver and joiner rates of EU staff on a regular basis since the 2016 referendum. We are not complacent and have plans in place to ensure there will continue to be sufficient staff to deliver the high-quality services on which the public relies. Our overall programme of work is comprehensive, thorough and continuously updated and will stand irrespective of the terms in which the United Kingdom leaves the EU.</p><p>The Department is also working more broadly with delivery partners to ensure that the health and care system as a whole is prepared and ready to respond to disruption caused by EU exit.</p>

answer text <p>As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, the National Health Service is committed to supporting the timely introduction of the most clinically and cost effective treatments for patients. Cell and gene therapies have the potential to provide great benefits for patients, and the NHS is leading the world in creating access to these treatments.</p><p>For example, patients in England were among the first in the world to benefit from CAR T cell therapy, which uses their own immune system to fight cancers. The NHS will also now be funding voretigene neparvovec, also known as Luxturna, a revolutionary form of new treatment for blindness in children.</p><p>The NHS is working with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and other partners in the Accelerated Access Collaborative to take a proactive approach in preparing for cell and gene therapies and other innovative treatments.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UK NSC) advises ministers and the National Health Service in the four UK countries about all aspects of screening and supports implementation of screening programmes. All screening programmes are introduced following a robust process using peer reviewed evidence that shows the benefits to screen clearly outweigh harm.</p><p>Earlier this year, the UK NSC looked at the evidence to offer population screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) in pregnancy and recommended that this should not be introduced. This is because screening during pregnancy would be difficult. Further, there is no new evidence to support screening. Ministers accepted this recommendation.</p><p>However, the NHS Newborn Blood spot Screening Programme screens for cystic fibrosis in newborn babies alongside eight other conditions. Newborn blood spot screening in England is offered between five and eight days after the baby is born.<em> </em></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p>

answer text <p>The NHS Business Services Authority can provide ‘on demand’ Pension Savings Statements (PSS) to members on request. This is not triggered by a member breaching the annual allowance, but instead by the member requesting a statement. ‘On demand’ statements should be provided by the NHS Business Services Authority by the later of three months from the date of request by the individual or by 6 October following the end of the relevant tax year. However, this is dependent on the NHS Business Services Authority receiving the relevant data from the Employing Authority such as pensionable pay.</p><p>The NHS Business Services Authority cannot exclusively identify healthcare professionals but confirm that during the period of 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019 it provided NHS Pension Scheme members with 17,187 ‘on demand’ PSSs of which 13,393 were completed on time.</p> more like this
