question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the average waiting time for cataract surgery in England; what strategies they are employing to reduce the waiting time; whether they have discussed (1) strategies for reducing such waiting time, and (2) cross-border cooperation on reducing waiting lists, with the Welsh Government; and if so, what the outcome of those discussions were.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2022 answer text <p>In January 2022, the median waiting time for admitted ophthalmology patients between referral to treatment was 12.45 weeks. While this includes waiting times for cataract surgery, it does not measure it separately.</p><p>The Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme is increasing the adoption of best practice in clinical pathways and supporting high flow cataract surgery to reduce waiting times. GIRFT and the Royal College of Ophthalmologists are advising providers and the National Health Service is increasing capacity through protected elective surgical hubs dedicated to planned procedures. There are currently over 40 elective surgical hubs in England, with further expansion planned in all regions supported by a further £1.5 billion in capital funding. GIRFT is also identifying where trusts with capacity can offer mutual aid to neighbouring providers with longer waiting lists. GIRFT is also supporting partnerships between the NHS and independent sector providers to increase capacity.</p><p>There have been no specific discussions on cross-border collaboration for reducing waiting lists for cataract surgery. However, cross border support is already being provided in specialist orthopaedics.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 26/04/2022 13:09:57 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall

uin	290846
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>The Health Care Quality Improvement Partnership through the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme runs audits funded by NHS England for a range of clinical areas. Central funding is usually time limited and the National Ophthalmology Database Audit (NODA) was no exception. It should be noted less than 50% of ophthalmologist submitted their data.</p><p> </p><p>This Audit was commissioned for an initial three years of funding. This was then extended by two further years in 2017. Central funding is time limited to ensure a range of areas benefit over time. However, this does not mean an audit which is valued by a sector has to cease. Many audits move from central to other funding arrangements led by the sector.</p><p> </p><p>An audit provides an additional focus on improvement that those taking part benefit from, but all ophthalmology services continue to be subject to the same general standards whether or not they are taking part in the Audit programme. The intention of an audit is to look in a focussed way at outcomes and for the NODA this covered cataract surgery. The findings from the audit are available to surgeons and patients with the aim of driving continuous improvement. Participation in an audit, however, is not compulsory for trusts or individual surgeons and participation rates vary. Standards of individual clinical care continue to be the responsibility of the surgeon involved and, if appropriate, the relevant professional body.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill grouped question UIN 290843 290845 question first answered 02/10/2019 11:08:05 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
