In Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust provides level 2 specialist neonatal care. If a baby requires level 3 neonatal care, which is the highest level of specialist care, the Trust contacts the nearest level 3 units to locate a suitable available cot. The regional level 3 units are at the Rosie Hospital in Cambridge and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in Norwich. However, if cots are not available at these hospitals, further units would be contacted to locate an available cot.<\/p>

NHS England created a Specialised Commissioning Taskforce which aims to improve ways of working and to ensure that specialised commissioning is undertaken in the most efficient and effective way possible.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

My Rt. hon. friend the Secretary of State meets regularly with NHS England to discuss a wide variety of issues. Specialised commissioning was on the agenda at the July NHS Accountability Meeting between NHS England and the Secretary of State.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The work of the Taskforce is being carried out with input from key internal and external stakeholders. Within the Taskforce work programme there are specific projects which will need wider engagement and may necessitate public consultation.<\/p>

The following table provides data on finished admission episodes (FAEs), finished discharge episodes (FDEs) and FDEs where the patient died, where there is a primary or secondary diagnosis of methadone poisoning, by the requested age groups for the last five years for which data is available.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Please note that:<\/p>

<\/p>

- data for buprenorphine ingestion has not been given as it is not possible to identify buprenorphine ingestion from the ICD10 diagnosis scheme available in the Hospital Episode Statistic s (HES) database,<\/p>

<\/p>

- both FAE and FDE are given as the question asks about both admissions and the outcome of the admissions,<\/p>

<\/p>

- admissions, discharges and discharges ending in death are not directly comparable because FAEs and FDEs do not represent the number of patients; as it is possible for an individual to have one or more episodes of care in any given period, while a death record can appear only once,<\/p>

<\/p>

- hospital stays can span year-end so that the numbers of FAEs and FDEs do not necessarily match within any given year,<\/p>

<\/p>

- any person who died without being admitted to hospital would not be counted, and<\/p>

<\/p>

- the ICD-10 codes were used to define 'methadone poisoning' is T40.3 Poisoning by narcotic and psychodysleptics [hallucinogens], methadone<\/p>

1. Cause of death was defined using the following International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes:<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

F11\u2013F16, F18\u2013F19: Mental and behavioural disorders due to drug use (excluding alcohol and tobacco),<\/p>

<\/p>

X40\u2013X44: Accidental poisoning by drugs, medicaments and biological substances, X60\u2013X64: Intentional self-poisoning by drugs, medicaments and biological substances,<\/p>

<\/p>

X85: Assault by drugs, medicaments and biological substances, and<\/p>

<\/p>

Y10\u2013Y14: Poisoning by drugs, medicaments and biological substances, undetermined intent<\/p>

<\/p>

Deaths were included where the underlying cause was due to drug poisoning and where buprenorphine or methadone was mentioned on the death certificate.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

2. Figures for England and Wales include deaths of non-residents.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

3. Figures are for deaths registered, rather than deaths occurring in each calendar year. Due to the length of time it takes to complete a coroner\u2019s inquest, it can take months or even years for a drug-related death to be registered. More details can be found in the 'deaths related to drug poisoning' statistical bulletin: www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/subnational-health3/deaths-related-to-drug-poisoning/england-and-wales---2013/stb---deaths-related-to-drug-poisoning-in-england-and-wales--2013.html#tab-Impact-of-Registration-Delays-on-Drug-Related-Deaths<\/p>

NHS England created a Specialised Commissioning Taskforce which aims to improve ways of working and to ensure that specialised commissioning is undertaken in the most efficient and effective way possible.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

My Rt. hon. friend the Secretary of State meets regularly with NHS England to discuss a wide variety of issues. Specialised commissioning was on the agenda at the July NHS Accountability Meeting between NHS England and the Secretary of State.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The work of the Taskforce is being carried out with input from key internal and external stakeholders. Within the Taskforce work programme there are specific projects which will need wider engagement and may necessitate public consultation.<\/p>

United Kingdom clinical guidelines for drug misuse and dependence make clear that doctors treating people with opioid dependence need to make sure that their patients are aware of the risks of their medication, and that they take necessary precautions to avoid it being accidentally taken by others, especially children.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Clinicians should assess risk to children and, if they suspect a child may be at risk, they must take steps, if necessary immediately, to deal with that risk. This may involve referral to other agencies, in accordance with relevant frameworks and protocols. The assessment may involve looking at the home environment and providing protective measures such as safe storage boxes to ensure medication is beyond the reach of children.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Monitoring adherence to the clinical guidelines, and taking action where there is a breach, would be the responsibility of the regulatory bodies, the Care Quality Commission and General Medical Council. Local authorities, commissioners, clinical commissioning groups, and local children\u2019s safeguarding boards may set up their own local monitoring arrangements.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Local authorities have had guidance on developing joint local protocols between the drug and alcohol treatment system and children and family services. The aim of these protocols is to ensure that children are safeguarded through good assessment, clear pathways, information sharing agreements and competent staff.<\/p>
