answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2016 answer text <p>The Clinical Commissioning Group Improvement and Assessment Framework (CCG IAF) contains two recognised evidence-based measures of whether patients with diabetes are being supported to successfully manage their condition. These are the achievement of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) treatment targets, which cover blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol control, and participation in structured education programmes.</p><p> </p><p>These measures were selected to reflect matters highlighted by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in January 2016 in its report on the management of adult diabetes services. The purpose of the CCG IAF is to highlight the key areas where clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) need to make improvements. The number of CCGs in need of improvement against these two indicators is consistent with the findings of the PAC.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance 2017-2019 included an announcement that NHS England intends to launch a major programme of investment in the treatment and care of people with diabetes. As part of this, CCGs will be able to bid for additional funding of around £40 million per year for priorities which include improvements in relation to the achievement of the treatment targets and attendance at structured education programmes.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 01/12/2016 14:59:58 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2016 answer text <p>NHS England will work with health communities/clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in need of improvement against CCG Improvement and Assessment Framework indicators to mutually identify the nature of the change needed and the type of support required to achieve this. A key focus of improvement will be to support CCGs and providers to locally map their services against nationally recognised best practice diabetes pathways and to identify where local pathways need to change in order to improve outcomes.

This will consider CCG positions in relation to the diabetes Improvement and Assessment Framework indicators and advise on actions to support improvement.</p><p> </p><p>- Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs). As part of supporting the development of STPs, a “How to” guide for diabetes has been issued which sets out advice the actions which CCGs can take to support improvements.</p><p> </p><p>- NHS England regional teams: NHS England has funded diabetes programme leads within each of the National Health Service regions to work with CCGs to support improvement.</p> answering member constituency Oxford West and Abingdon answering member printed Nicola Blackwood question first answered 28/11/2016 15:27:55 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2016 answer text <p>The Government is committed to making sure that vulnerable and intimidated victims and witnesses get the support they need and have the confidence to come forward. A range of measures already exist to help reduce their anxiety, including giving evidence through live-link to the courtroom from a different room in the court, or away from the court building altogether, and the use of a Registered Intermediary. We doubled the number of Registered Intermediaries at the end of 2015 to increase the number available to help vulnerable and intimidated victims and witnesses give evidence.</p><p> </p><p>We are also rolling out recorded pre-trial cross-examination in the Crown Courts from next year so that vulnerable witnesses do not have to give their evidence at trial. In addition to this, we are requiring publicly-funded advocates in sexual offences cases to undertake specialist training on working with vulnerable victims and witnesses.</p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Sir Oliver Heald question first answered 10/11/2016 15:31:32 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2016 answer text <p>Africa’s elephant population has seen the worst declines in 25 years, mainly due to poaching, with a reported decline of around 111,000 over the past decade. The UK’s proposed ban on trade in modern day, post-1947 ivory announced by the Secretary of State on 21 September will send a global message of the need to combat this threat to elephants and put pressure on other countries to act. The ban has not yet entered into force and we will consult on plans early next year. We will have to look at the impact of this change to current controls but it will put UK rules on ivory sales among the world’s toughest.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 01/11/2016 17:49:06 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
