answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2014 answer text <p>Berths on the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers (QEC), Type 45 Destroyers (T45) and the planned Type 26 Global Combat Ship (T26 GCS) are not assigned for the exclusive use of Royal Marines personnel. <br>However, each of them provides, or will provide additional flexible accommodation, depending on the type of operation on which it is deployed. <br><br>QEC will provide accommodation for nearly 1,000 personnel above that for the ship's crew. Space available for an embarked military force (EMF) will depend on the size of the air group carried and the scale and type of operation being undertaken. The T45 is capable of accommodating an EMF of up to 60 personnel. <br><br>The T26 GCS programme remains in its Assessment Phase and the design will not be finalised until the main investment decision has been taken, however every effort is being made to maximise the platform's ability to embark an EMF, particularly with its Flexible Mission Bay capable of housing a variety of EMF boats and vehicles.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 07/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to section 3 of the guidance issued by Monitor on the Commissioning of Radiosurgery Services on 4 April 2014, if he will require NHS England to publish the names of all referring consultants, patients groups, charities and any other service providers it consulted prior to making its decision not to allow patients to be treated with the Gamma Knife at University College London Hospital.

uin	197024
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2014 answer text <p>Section 3 of Monitor's substantive guidance on <em>The National Health Service (Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition) (No.2) Regulations 2013</em> provides guidance to commissioners on publishing new contract opportunities for NHS health care services.</p><p> </p><p>On page 42 of the guidance, it states that &quot;a commissioner may decide to carry out a detailed review of the provision of particular services (for example, A&amp;E services) in its local area in order to understand how those services can be improved in the interests of patients. The review may involve extensive public consultation and engagement with existing and potential providers and other stakeholders. Reviewing available services and providers in this way is good commissioning practice and something that commissioners should consider doing as a matter of course.”</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is currently undertaking such a review of stereotactic radiosurgery services. This will inform procurement decisions for these services.</p><p> </p><p>University College London Hospitals is not contracted by NHS England, nor was it contracted by former primary care trusts, to provide Gamma Knife services. It is for this reason that NHS patients cannot normally be treated at this facility. Instead, NHS patients requiring Gamma Knife treatment should be treated by the Gamma Knife services commissioned by the NHS, that have been shown to meet NHS England service specifications. These can be accessed by patients in London without a waiting time, fully maintaining the continuity of their care and normally with the same consultant and clinical team.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>NHS England inherited the range of stereotactic surgery providers currently in place, of which University College Hospital London was not one. NHS England is currently undertaking a review of stereotactic radiosurgery provision and will consult widely with stakeholders and providers prior to making changes to service provision.</p><p> </p><p>Finally, NHS England will publish information relating to its contracted spend in due course, in line with Regulation 9 of <em>The National Health Service (Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition) (No.2) Regulations 2013</em>.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison grouped question UIN 197023 197025 question first answered 07/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
