answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2014 answer text <p>Since the publication of Hard Truths: The Journey to Putting Patients First, the Government has taken huge strides to boost safety, transparency, compassion and accountability in the National Health Service. We have legislated to make the Care Quality Commission independent, and a new rigorous inspection regime for hospitals, primary care and adult social care has been introduced, resulting in a clear rating on the quality of care. We have also introduced a robust special measures regime for struggling hospitals, so that poor care is identified and rectified. In addition, we have legislated to place a new duty of candour and fit and proper person requirement for directors of NHS bodies, as well as to create a new offence of wilful neglect and ill treatment. This Government has also placed an unprecedented amount of data on the MyNHS website, so that the public can see how their local services perform.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We will be publishing an update and summary of this progress shortly.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 05/12/2014 13:02:28 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/01/2015 answer text <p>Ministers have received a small number of letters from hon. Members about delays in the national security vetting process.</p><p> </p><p>Processing requests for National Security Vetting clearances are, by nature, very robust as they help to establish the integrity of the applicant. Defence Business Services National Security Vetting (DBS NSV) is also reliant upon a number of third party suppliers to complete the security checks.</p><p> </p><p>This has been exacerbated by a key third party supplier encountering difficulties with their IT system, which is outside of the control of the Ministry of Defence. However, these issues have now been resolved and additional personnel have been recruited to address the high volumes of applications.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 06/01/2015 17:11:49 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry previous answer version 31992 answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
