answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/08/2024 answer text <p>NHS England recently completed an update to the Neonatal Critical Care service specification. Service specifications set national standards which all commissioned providers of Neonatal Critical Care services are required to meet. The updated specification for Neonatal Critical Care outlines nurse staffing requirements for the three different levels of neonatal care, including high-risk neonatal intensive care services. The specification requires neonatal units to meet the British Association of Perinatal Medicine’s (BAPM) standards in relation to safe staffing limits for registered nurses with a neonatal Qualification in Specialty. The service specification is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Neonatal-critical-care-service-specification-March-2024.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Neonatal-critical-care-service-specification-March-2024.pdf</a></p><p>Furthermore, the BAPM standards are available at the following link: <br> <br> <a href="https://www.bapm.org/resources/service-and-quality-standards-for-provision-of-neonatal-care-in-the-uk" target="_blank">https://www.bapm.org/resources/service-and-quality-standards-for-provision-of-neonatal-care-in-the-uk</a></p> answering member constituency Bristol South answering member printed Karin Smyth question first answered 05/08/2024 10:42:03 answering member 4444 label Biography information for Karin Smyth previous answer version 1349 answering member constituency Bristol South answering member printed Karin Smyth answering member 4444 label Biography information for Karin Smyth

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2024 answer text <p>Reporting of neonatal mortality in neonatal care units is conducted through audit programmes. Data is published by the National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP), with the figures for January 2017 to June 2024 available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/nnap-data-dashboard#view-the-dashboard" target="_blank">https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/nnap-data-dashboard#view-the-dashboard</a></p><p>In addition, Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audits and Confidential Enquiries across the UK (MBRRACE-UK) also report neonatal mortality in neonatal care units, with the figures for 2017 to 2022 available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://timms.le.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk-perinatal-mortality/surveillance/" target="_blank">https://timms.le.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk-perinatal-mortality/surveillance/</a></p><p>The NNAP covers England, Wales, and in more recent years, Scotland, and reports the proportion of very preterm babies, those born at 24 to 31 weeks completed gestation, who are admitted to a neonatal unit and die before discharge home, or 44 weeks post-menstrual age, whichever occurs sooner. It does not, therefore, report on babies born before 24 weeks or after 31 weeks, or babies not admitted to a neonatal unit.</p><p>The MBRRACE report covers the United Kingdom and captures mortality rates up to 28 days after birth, broken down by the level of neonatal care provided by the trust or health board where the birth occurred.</p><p>These data sources only give a partial view of infant mortality in England. All infant deaths, both neonatal and post-neonatal, in England and Wales are reported by the Office for National Statistics, and are available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/childhoodinfantandperinatalmortalityinenglandandwales/latest" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/childhoodinfantandperinatalmortalityinenglandandwales/latest</a></p><p>Department officials meet with Welsh authorities on a regular basis to discuss a range of maternity and neonatal-related issues.</p> answering member constituency Bristol South answering member printed Karin Smyth question first answered 31/07/2024 08:43:47 answering member 4444 label Biography information for Karin Smyth

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>Whilst the power covers all benefits to ensure we are empowered to address fraud and error wherever it arises, the Impact Assessment makes clear that we initially intend to use the power for Universal Credit, Employment Support Allowance, Pension Credit and Housing Benefit (passported from Pension Credit). DWP can also only exercise this power in relation to benefits for which DWP is responsible.</p><p> </p><p>The Third-Party Data Measure is estimated to save up to £600m by 2028/29. This was certified by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) during the Autumn Statement 2023 and updated for the Spring Budget 2024. This is based on the initial use of the power which includes savings from the four benefits outlined above and the pilot period. Further information about the methodology can be found in the published impact assessment (<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6564bab01524e6000da10168/DWP_third_party_data_impact_assessment_november_2023.pdf" target="_blank">DWP_third_party_data_impact_assessment_november_2023.pdf (publishing.service.gov.uk)</a>).</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows savings are split by each of benefit and that we are testing the measure. Estimates of these savings as a proportion of overall estimated fraud for each of these benefits is not available as the AME savings modelled are not directly comparable to the Monetary Value of Fraud and Error.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2025-26</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2026-27</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2027-28</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2028-29</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>ESA</strong></p></td><td><p>£5</p></td><td><p>£18</p></td><td><p>£52</p></td><td><p>£41</p></td><td><p><em>£116</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>HB (passported from PC)</strong></p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>£4</p></td><td><p>£11</p></td><td><p>£14</p></td><td><p><em>£29</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>PC</strong></p></td><td><p>£7</p></td><td><p>£26</p></td><td><p>£78</p></td><td><p>£103</p></td><td><p><em>£214</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>UC</strong></p></td><td><p>£5</p></td><td><p>£23</p></td><td><p>£79</p></td><td><p>£126</p></td><td><p><em>£233</em></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Note: figures may not sum due to rounding</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 23/05/2024 10:39:00 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
