answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2020 answer text <p>There has been an impressive response to the pandemic by the National Health Service, with staff and organisations rapidly adapting to changing circumstances and implementing new ways of working; including the greater use of digital tools and the growth in the availability and use of remote consultations. This is helping to minimise the spread of COVID-19 by supporting patients to stay at home, while still enabling them to receive the care they need, and to allow general practitioners and clinicians to work remotely. The NHS has already made a commitment in the NHS Long Term Plan that every patient will have the right to be offered digital-first primary care by 2023-24. We will learn from these new ways of accessing services so that subject to patient and clinician preference, and clinical safety, they are part of delivery going forward.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 17/06/2020 16:51:21 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
