	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>On 1 April 2013, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) replaced primary care trusts (PCTs) as the primary commissioner of National Health Service services in England.</p><p>Unlike PCTs, CCGs are clinically led, and so are better able to use clinical expertise to assess and prioritise those treatments that provide the safest and most effective outcomes for their population. The evidence suggests that general practitioner-led CCGs have allowed the redesign of patient pathways and local services based on clinical evidence, and a more effective dialogue and partnership with other parts of the health system.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 25/07/2019 14:26:05 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond previous answer version 131080 answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>As I said to the hon. Member on 8 July, it is difficult to put an exact date on when the Army will reach its full trade trained strength. However, the Army have a series of initiatives in place aimed at improving both recruitment and retention. These are starting to yield benefits but ensuring the Army is at the appropriate size requires sustained effort and investment. However, most importantly the Army continues to meet all of its operational commitments that keep Britain safe.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 25/07/2019 07:03:53 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
