answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2017 answer text <p>Local and regional news is a crucial source of information for communities and a vital part of a healthy democracy. I understand local and regional news providers are facing challenges at the moment, as they adapt to new technology and a changing media landscape.</p><p> </p><p>Earlier this month, we introduced a business rates relief for local newspapers in England. More information is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/the-case-for-a-business-rates-relief-for-local-newspapers</p><p> </p><p>The BBC is also working in partnership with the local news industry to support local journalism. Following consultation with providers of local journalism across the UK, the BBC in partnership with the News Media Association, will take forward a range of measures working with local media. More information is available at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2017/bbc-news-media-association-partnership</p><p> </p><p>As I set out at the Westminster Hall debate on local and regional news, on 30 March 2017, I do not believe a single inquiry is appropriate at this stage. The business rates relief and the BBC initiative are currently being implemented and we must see how these work in practice. However as I said during the debate, we are keeping this matter under constant review: https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2017-03-30/debates/B069F48A-DFC6-48A8-A1BD-BA9AB827E5E9/LocalAndRegionalNews</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 25/04/2017 12:20:31 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2017 answer text <p>The Department does hold data on the number of children seen by an National Health Service dentist before 31 December 2015 but not the data requested in the previous Question. The hon. Member asked how many children were seen by a NHS dentist in each 12 month period that his Department held data for. Data for children seen in a 12 month period is not available for earlier periods but between 31 March 2006 and 31 December 2015 data was collected on the number of children seeing an NHS dentist in a 24 month period. This data is set out in the attached table.</p><p>The change in the measurement period was to align with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance on the maximum recommended interval of routine check-ups for children. For adults the maximum recall period is 24 months so this remains the period used for adults.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 25/04/2017 14:58:01 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat attachment 1 file name PQ70318 attached table.docx title PQ70318 attached document

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how NHS England makes a judgement on the financial sustainability of a GP practice when considering whether to close it.
tabling member constituency	Birmingham, Selly Oak
tabling member printed	Steve McCabe
uin	70319
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2017 answer text <p>General practitioners (GPs) are independent contractors and hold responsibility for managing the business. It is for the partners of GP practices to make judgements on the financial sustainability of their practices.</p><p> </p><p>If a partnership becomes financially less viable, it is for the partnership to decide whether the financial risks are worth continuing to take. The practice may make the decision to merge with another practice or federate, in order to create back office efficiencies and provide primary care at scale. Alternatively, the partnership may at this point choose to hand back its contract. NHS England would not close the practice.</p><p> </p><p>The General Medical Services (GMS) Regulations 2015 govern how NHS England commissions primary care. These regulations restrict from whom NHS England can commission. For example, they prohibit NHS England from commissioning from a practice that has declared bankruptcy. They also require NHS England to terminate a contract with an individual practitioner or remove a partner in a partnership agreement if that individual is declared bankrupt.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 25/04/2017 14:54:30 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2017 answer text <p>The information provided in answer to Question 66939 on patients seen by National Health Service dentists relates to primary care only so cannot be disaggregated into primary and secondary care. ’Patients seen’ counts the number of unique patients who received one or more NHS courses of treatment within primary care by a dentist in a specified period. This information cannot be provided for secondary care. Secondary care data, for dental and other specialties, does not routinely report on the unique patients seen but rather the number of admissions or treatments delivered within the secondary care setting.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 24/04/2017 16:29:28 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat
