answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2023 answer text <p>When strike action takes place NHS England works with providers, professional bodies, trade unions and other bodies to agree the safe level of cover for days when industrial action is taking place. Even when these rigorous contingency plans are in place, the risk of industrial action endangering the lives and health of patients and the public remains if we continue to rely on a patchwork of locally agreed voluntary derogations from strike action. These derogations are often not confirmed until very late in the day, or indeed might not materialise on strike days as they are voluntary, and staff and unions can withdraw these.</p><p>The Government has consulted on whether minimum service levels should be in place for ambulance services during strike action. The consultation closed and we are considering the responses. As strike action is now increasingly being taken without voluntary derogations being agreed by unions, whether at a local or national level, the Government is now considering whether to consult on introducing minimum service levels for a wider range of health services in order to protect the lives and health of the public.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 13/06/2023 11:34:23 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2023 answer text <p>Police forces are operationally independent of Government, and Chief Constables have the autonomy to decide whether their force will adopt the Right Care Right Person approach which originated in Humberside Police. This is an approach supported in the findings of the Policing Productivity Review that is being carried out, hosted by the National Police Chiefs Council, and one that Chiefs Council have agreed to promote as a national model.</p><p>The model has been successfully deployed in Humberside and that people experiencing a mental health episode, where there is no immediate risk of serious harm or criminality, or the need for the use of police powers, will normally require a health response, ensuring those with the right skills and expertise can provide the best possible service for people in crisis.</p><p>Government and health partners are currently finalising a new National Partnership Agreement between the police and health sectors, which will help to ensure that any emergency calls for service are responded to by the most appropriate agency to attend that incident; that those with the right skills and expertise can provide the best possible service for people in crisis.</p><p>The approach will not mean that police completely withdraw from assisting where the threshold for their attendance has been met, where there is a real and immediate risk to life or serious harm or responding to a report of crime. As part of the National Decision Model, police are required to continually assess risk of harm and threat.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 07/06/2023 14:32:28 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
