answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2022 answer text <p>The ‘Delivery plan for tackling the COVID-19 backlog of elective care’ how the National Health Service will recover and expand elective services over the next three years, including in Streatham. We have allocated more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25, in addition to the £2 billion Elective Recovery Fund and £700 million Targeted Investment Fund already made available in 2021/2022 to increase elective activity. This funding aims to deliver the equivalent of approximately nine million additional checks and procedures and 30% further elective activity by 2024/25 than pre-pandemic levels. A proportion of this funding will be invested in workforce capacity and training and we have committed to invest £5.9 billion for new beds, equipment and technology.</p><p>The target to eliminate waiting times of two years or more for elective procedures was met in July 2022 and we aim to eliminate waiting time of eighteen months or more by April 2023. This will be achieved through increasing capacity, seeking alternate capacity in other trusts or the independent sector and engaging with patients to understand choices made regarding their care.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 19/10/2022 13:23:05 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick previous answer version 24528 answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether clinical commissioning group restrictions on access to joint surgery for obese patients and smokers are compatible with NICE guidance on osteoarthritis: care and management, that patient-specific factors, including age, sex, smoking, obesity and co-morbidities, should not be barriers to referral for joint surgery.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2017 answer text <p>Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are primarily responsible for commissioning services to meet the requirements of their population, including the obese and smokers. In doing so, CCGs need to ensure that the services they provide are fit for purpose, reflect the needs of the local population, are based on the available evidence and take into account national guidelines.</p><p> </p><p>The evidence suggests that major surgery poses higher risks for severely overweight patients who smoke. CCGs are therefore right to ensure these patients first get support to lose weight and try and stop smoking before their operation. Reducing obesity and cutting smoking not only benefits patients but also saves money for the National Health Service and taxpayers.</p><p> </p><p>This does not and cannot mean blanket bans on particular patients such as smokers or overweight people getting operations, which would be inconsistent with the NHS Constitution.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 09/02/2017 11:01:26 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat
