answer text <p>On 3 June 2015, NHS England invited expressions of interest from organisations and partnerships across England to become vanguard sites for new care models focusing on urgent and emergency care. These sites will test new approaches to delivering urgent care and aim to improve the coordination of services and reduce pressure on accident and emergency departments. It is expected that about five million people will be covered by the initial phase of the vanguard sites, which could be rolled out across England in the next couple of years.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Across England as a whole, new urgent and emergency care networks are being developed. These will operate strategically, to improve the consistency and quality of urgent and emergency care by bringing together System Resilience Groups (SRGs) and other stakeholders to address challenges in the urgent and emergency care system that are difficult for single SRGs to address in isolation.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is committed to ensuring that assaults against prison officers are dealt with robustly. The CPS considers each case on its own facts and in accordance with the two stage test set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.The Code outlines that a prosecution is more likely to be in the public interest if the offence was committed against a person serving the public. Furthermore, the specific CPS Legal Guidance on Prison Offences outlines that, if the victim is a prison officer performing his/her duty, the public interest is heavily in favour of prosecution.</p><p>In addition to this, the new joint protocol produced by the Prison Service, CPS and Association of Chief Police Officers will set out that when there are serious assaults on prison staff, the perpetrators will be prosecuted unless there is a good reason why not.</p> more like this
