	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>We estimate there are approximately 2,300 machines in the National Health Service currently still operating on Windows XP which is no longer supported by Microsoft. To be compliant with the mandatory Data Security and Protection Toolkit, NHS organisations must operate on supported systems or have plans in place to mitigate the risk such as segregating those machines from the network. There are valid reasons why some machines cannot be upgraded from Windows XP, primarily where they run essential locally developed clinical systems that cannot be upgraded or replaced.</p><p>We are supporting NHS organisations to upgrade their existing Microsoft Windows operating systems, allowing them to reduce potential vulnerabilities and increase cyber resilience.</p><p>We signed a multi-million pound contract with Microsoft in 2018 to support the NHS to upgrade their existing Microsoft Windows operating systems onto Windows 10.</p><p>All health and care organisations that have access to NHS patient data must annually complete NHS Digital’s Data Security and Protection Toolkit. This details the standards we expect them to adhere to and Data Security Standard 8 advocates that no unsupported operating systems, software or internet browsers are used within the IT estate.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 09/09/2019 19:13:26 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>In 2017/18, around 30.5% of children and young people then estimated to have a mental health condition were able to benefit from treatment and support, up from an estimated 25% two years earlier. Continuing to expand access to children’s mental health services is a priority for this Government, and a core part of the NHS Long Term Plan. The National Health Service has set an ambitious goal of an extra 345,000 children and young people aged 0-25 receiving support via NHS-funded mental health services by 2023/24.</p><p>NHS England published its Mental Health Implementation Plan in July 2019, setting out its plans for delivering its Long Term Plan goals. Although data is not available for the number of children and young people attending specifically for an assessment, the most recent data (July 2019) is that 377,866 children and young people were in contact with services in 2018/19 (data covers 288 providers) and received two clinically meaningful contacts (NHS England’s current proxy for entering treatment). This compares to 324,724 children and young people that were in contact with services in 2017/18 (data covered 225 providers).</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 09/09/2019 19:09:32 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>There is currently no overall waiting time standard for children and young people’s mental health services and therefore this information is not collected centrally. However, there are two waiting time standards which apply to specific areas. The first standard is for young people’s eating disorder services, which is that urgent cases should be seen within one week and non-urgent cases within four weeks. The latest data (for quarter 4 of 2018/19) shows that 80.6 % of children and young people with eating disorders were seen within one week (urgent) and 82.4 % of children and young people with eating disorders were seen within four weeks (routine).</p><p>The second standard is for first episode of psychosis, where a patient should be seen within two weeks. This standard was met in 75.3% of cases although the data refers to patients of all ages and is not available by age group.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 09/09/2019 18:09:33 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
