question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his most recent estimate of the time taken for medical records to be transferred from Defence Medical Services to a civilian GP when service personnel leave the armed forces.
tabling member constituency	Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport
tabling member printed	Luke Pollard
uin	9141
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2022 answer text <p>One to three months before discharge, Service personnel are required to register with an NHS GP. However, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) is not notified by the NHS when an individual registers, so it is not possible for the MOD to automatically provide an individual's medical records to the GP. The new NHS GP must request records from the MOD, as they would from the previous NHS GP. Given this and that some records are never requested, no accurate estimate can be made of the average time from discharge to the receipt of the medical records by the NHS GP.</p><p>When medical records are requested, the MOD recognises the importance of transferring them promptly to the NHS to ensure continuity of care. To make this process as seamless as possible, a Primary Medical Care Solution is being developed, under Programme Cortisone, that will link MOD systems with national NHS systems. The Primary Medical Care Solution is in development and currently expected to go live in early 2023, followed by an 18-month rollout to all Defence Medical Services practices.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 07/06/2022 12:29:21 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2022 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>On 22 February 2022, the General Dental Council (GDC) announced the full resumption of the Overseas Registration Exam (ORE) following its suspension in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The GDC has published its 2022 sittings schedule for both components of the exam.</p><p>The capacity of the ORE is constrained by rules within the GDC’s legislative framework. The Department has consulted on proposals to amend this legislation to allow the GDC greater flexibility on alternative routes to registration for international applicants. The consultation closed on 6 May 2022 and the responses are currently being analysed. Subject to the outcome of the consultation and Parliamentary approval, we aim to introduce the legislative changes in autumn 2022. As an independent regulator, the GDC will determine how this increased flexibility could be applied, including the appropriate way to assess overseas qualifications.</p><p>Automatic recognition arrangements are in place for relevant dental qualifications obtained in the European Economic Area and Switzerland for a period of 24 months from the end of the transition period or 48 months for Swiss qualifications. The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care is required to undertake a statutory review of these arrangements after the 24-month period. This review will be conducted at the start of 2023. However, automatic recognition of qualifications will continue until further legislation is introduced to amend or end these arrangements.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar grouped question UIN 9151 9152 question first answered 07/06/2022 13:39:57 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
