answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises that long-term conditions, such as arthritis, can have an impact on a person’s mental wellbeing. The guideline ‘Rheumatoid arthritis in adults: management’, updated by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2018, sets out best practice in the diagnosis, treatment, care and support of people with rheumatoid arthritis. The guidance recommends that patients should be offered psychological interventions (for example, relaxation, stress management and cognitive coping skills to help them to adjust to living with their condition).</p><p> </p><p>NICE’s guidelines represent best practice, are based on the available evidence and developed through wide consultation. Although guidelines are not mandatory, when exercising their judgement, National Health Service organisations and clinicians are expected to take this guideline fully into account as best practice, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health, the expansion of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services now under way has a focus on helping people with long term conditions, including conditions such as arthritis.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 03/12/2018 14:19:44 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

It did not challenge the nature of the Capacity Market mechanism itself. The judgment removed State aid approval for the Capacity Market, preventing the UK Government from making any further capacity payments under existing agreements until re-approval.</p><p> </p><p>We are already working closely with the Commission to aid their investigation and seek timely State aid approval for the Capacity Market as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p>The Government and National Grid will ensure that market participants are kept updated.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 04/12/2018 10:05:27 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
