answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2022 answer text <p>During the pandemic, we have made £520 million available to improve access and expand general practice capacity. In October 2021, we published measures to allow more patients to see or speak to general practitioners and primary care teams during the winter, supported by the Winter Access Fund. Between November 2021 and March 2022, this supported Wycombe’s Primary Care Networks to offer more than 7,900 additional appointments.</p><p>We have committed £1.5 billion to create an additional 50 million general practice appointments a year by 2024 by increasing and diversifying the workforce. In the Buckingham Clinical Commissioning Group area, there were on average an estimated 10,900 appointments per working day in March 2022 excluding COVID-19 vaccination appointments, compared to 10,300 in March 2021. NHS England and NHS Improvement have advised that six practices will receive funding for new advanced telephony systems, with a further three practices already in receipt of funding for existing advanced systems. This will provide more capacity, flexibility for patients and enable more efficient use of existing practice staff.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 23/05/2022 13:26:57 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2022 answer text <p>The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) provides a daily number of deaths in people with a positive COVID-19 test, to rapidly report numbers of deaths each day and provide surveillance of trends in mortality and underlying transmission. There are two definitions of a death in a person with COVID-19 in England:</p><p>- A death in a person with a positive COVID-19 test who died within 28 days of the first positive specimen date of the most recent episode of infection; and</p><p>- A death in a person with a positive COVID-19 test who died within 60 days of the first specimen date of the most recent episode of infection.</p><p> </p><p>Verifying the number of people who have died from COVID-19 related illness is complex and this is one of several measures of deaths used by the Government, including death certificates and excess deaths. Multiple data sources are triangulated to provide the most accurate picture of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 27/04/2022 16:48:59 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
