The Challenge on Dementia 2020<\/em>, published in February 2015, made clear that, by 2020, we expect social care providers to provide appropriate training on dementia to all relevant staff. A copy of the Challenge on Dementia 2020<\/em> is attached.<\/p>

The Department estimates that more than 100,000 social care workers have already received dementia awareness training. Newly appointed health care assistants and social care support workers, including those providing care and support to people with dementia and their carers, should undergo training as part of the national implementation of the Care Certificate.<\/p>

<\/p>

Standard 9 of the Care Certificate concerns awareness of mental health, dementia and learning disabilities. In meeting the standard, each worker must show that he or she understands the needs and experiences of people with mental health conditions, dementia or learning disabilities, the importance of promoting their health and wellbeing, the adjustments which may be necessary in delivering their care, and the importance of early detection. They must also prove that they understand the legal context, including mental capacity considerations.<\/p>

<\/p>

This standard is based in tier 1 of the Dementia Core Skills Education and Training Framework, which focuses on awareness.

NHS England has a specific role to commission those public health services set out in the Section 7A public health functions agreement 2016-17, including immunisation programmes and to hold to account providers to ensure that they deliver the contracts that have been agreed. The agreement sets out specific outputs and outcomes to be achieved by NHS England including performance indicators that outline minimum levels of vaccination coverage for different programmes. NHS England publishes national service specifications outlining the minimum levels of vaccinations expected, which in turn are put into contracts with providers at local level.

The Section 7A agreement requires NHS England to at least maintain, or improve, national levels of performance on existing services, while also implementing planned changes. It also includes an ambition to reduce local variation in performance between different geographical areas.<\/p>

There are no plans to review incentives, however a number are already in place. For example, within primary care general practitioner (GP) settings, some vaccination services such as flu for those with diabetes have quality outcome framework indicators attached, whereby GPs are rewarded for good practice. Also, as part of the contracts given outside of the primary care settings, local teams can develop Commissioning for Quality and Innovation payments that link a proportion of providers' income to the achievement of local quality improvement goals.<\/p>

Through the National Health Service public health functions agreement (S7A), NHS England commissions services from a variety of providers across England, and has a national service specification outlining the national standards and expectations. Immunisation programmes are delivered in partnership with Public Health England (PHE) and the Department, who use contracting and commissioning levers to reduce variation in local levels of performance between different geographical areas. In addition, organisations are working together on a number of priority programmes where there is variation, such as measles, mumps, and rubella to put in place effective actions for improvement.<\/p>

<\/p>

PHE works in partnership with NHS England and Directors of Public Health to ensure that local population needs are understood and addressed by local immunisation services, and with NHS England local teams to provide leadership and coordination to sustain and improve the successful delivery of existing programmes.<\/p>

<\/p>

PHE constantly monitors cases of vaccine preventable disease and levels of vaccine coverage.<\/p>
