The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) are able to provide the number of people recorded on the disease register and the prevalence for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), at England level from 2009-10 to 2013-14. The data for 2014/15 are not expected to be published until the end of October 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
As Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) registers are constructed to underpin indicators on quality of care, they do not necessarily equate to prevalence as may be defined by epidemiologists. For example, prevalence figures based on QOF registers may differ from prevalence from other sources because of coding and definitional issues.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The number of patients on clinical registers can be used to calculate disease prevalence, expressing the number of patients on each register as a percentage of the number of patients on practices\u2019 lists. Therefore, \u2018raw prevalence\u2019 for a clinical area is defined as:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Raw Prevalence = (number on clinical register / number on practice list) *100<\/em><\/p> <\/p>

The National Cancer Survivorship Initiative (NCSI) has set out to understand the numbers, needs, and experiences of people living with and beyond cancer, including bowel cancer, and the most effective service solutions to meet the growing numbers of survivors. The NCSI has recommended four priority areas: recovery packages; consequences of treatment and Patient Report Outcome Measures; stratified pathways of care; and physical activity. To support this work NHS England, in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support, has established the Living with and Beyond Cancer Programme, a two-year programme of work to embed the four priority areas from NCSI into mainstream commissioning.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Living with and beyond cancer has also been identified as a key theme by the independent Cancer Taskforce, which is developing a new cancer strategy to be published in summer 2015.<\/p>

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is an independent body. Accordingly, the NMC Council is responsible for determining the level of the annual fee it charges for registration, which must cover the full cost of its regulatory activity.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2012 the NMC identified that £120 per registrant per year is the amount required to cover its regulatory costs. The NMC had intended to increase the level of its fee to £120 in February 2013. However, for two years the NMC\u2019s costs have been subsidised by a £20 million Government grant, which in-part enabled the NMC to charge a lower registration fee of £100 instead of £120.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has no plans to offer the NMC a further grant to subsidise the registration fee increase to £120, which came into force on 1 February 2015.<\/p>
