We want to secure reciprocal arrangements in a \u2018no deal\u2019 exit, so that no-one faces sudden changes to how they obtain healthcare.<\/p>

<\/p>

The United Kingdom has made a generous unilateral offer to European Union citizens resident in the UK; through the EU settlement scheme, they will be able to work, study, and access benefits and services on broadly the same terms as now. We believe Member States have responsibilities and a duty of care towards UK nationals and are urging the EU and all its Member States to make the same commitment to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Healthcare (International Arrangements) Bill will give the Government the power to fund and arrange payments for healthcare for UK nationals (or former residents) outside of the UK, as well as to share the necessary data in relation to this.<\/p>

<\/p>

This will enable the Government to work to ensure reciprocal healthcare arrangements continue when we leave the EU, whether through arrangements with the EU as a whole or, individual arrangements with EU Member States.<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK and Irish Governments have both set out their firm intention to maintain current reciprocal access to local health services under the Common Travel Area framework, and work on this is at an advanced stage.<\/p>

<\/p>

We have informally approached other Member States and are prioritising those that are the major pensioner, worker and tourist destinations. We will shortly be writing to all EU Member States, along with the EU Commission, formally outlining our generous offer on reciprocal healthcare. This will be subject to ongoing discussions.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1585", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephen Hammond"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wimbledon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Stephen Hammond"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-21T17:39:22.473Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "British Nationals Abroad: Health Services"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which EU member states have indicated that UK citizens living in those countries would continue to be able to access local health services in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/163", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Stephen Timms"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Ham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Timms"} ], "uin" : "209279"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1042265", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1042265/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

England has one of the highest flu vaccine uptake rates in Europe. Most years, for those aged 65 and above, uptake is close to the World Health Organization (WHO) target of 75%. There is normally only a short window in which to vaccinate between the vaccine becoming available and the flu season commencing. This year, the phased delivery of the adjuvanted vaccine for older people meant that some flu clinics had to be delayed until sufficient vaccine was available.<\/p>

<\/p>

The majority of flu vaccination has now taken place. Vaccine uptake is at similar levels to previous years for older people and pregnant women. For those in clinical risk groups it is marginally lower. There are many reasons for this including that many patients do not appreciate how serious flu can be and the importance of protecting themselves, with some women wary of having a vaccine whilst pregnant. For two and three year olds it is at the highest level since the programme started. This data can be viewed at the following link:<\/p>

Vaccinations are a key part of the prevention strategy in the NHS Long Term Plan. To help increase immunisation uptake, NHS England will undertake a fundamental review of general practitioner vaccinations and immunisation standards, funding, and procurement. This will support the goal of improving immunisation coverage, using local coordinators to target variation and improve groups and areas with low vaccines uptake.<\/p>

<\/p>

By 2022, technology will better support clinicians. The Long Term Plan states that an integrated child protection system will replace many legacy systems, to help deliver a screening and vaccination solution that is worthy of the NHS's world leading services.<\/p>

<\/p>

Prevention is at the heart of the NHS Long Term Plan, which is backed by a £20.5 billion per year increase in funding for the NHS in England by 2023/24. Immunisation is a key preventative measure and the Long Term Plan commits to prioritising improvements in childhood immunisation and immunisation uptake.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-23T16:11:39.263Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Vaccination"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to increase the level of immunisation performed by the NHS.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4244", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jonathan Ashworth"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leicester South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jonathan Ashworth"} ], "uin" : "209340"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1042267", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1042267/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Alongside publication of the NHS\u2019s Long Term Plan, the Government has confirmed its final cash settlement for the National Health Service, which will see the NHS budget grow by £33.9 billion in cash terms by 2023-24, compared to 2018-19. This is equivalent to the £20.5 billion real terms increase set out last June and reiterated at Budget 2018.<\/p>

<\/p>

The following table confirms the NHS England resource budget in each year under this final settlement, which has been agreed with the NHS as the basis of its fully costed Plan. This excludes NHS England revenue budgets for depreciation and impairments, which will be handled separately. Furthermore, it excludes additional funding for NHS pension costs arising as a result of the ongoing revaluation of public sector pensions that the Treasury has made provision for, as outlined in June 2018 and at Budget 2018.<\/p>

There has been no change in policy with regards to obtaining consent of a patient for the purposes of an inquiry or investigation and therefore Ministers have not been consulted.<\/p>

<\/p>

If a National Health Service body is to disclose patient information held by it in order to progress an inquiry from a hon. Member, it must obtain the consent of the patient before doing so. An inquiry or an investigation will almost certainly require the disclosure by the NHS body of information relating to the constituent as patient.<\/p>

<\/p>

The NHS body must be content that there is a legal basis under the General Data Protection Regulation/Data Protection Act for processing patient information (i.e. disclosing and sharing it for the purposes of the investigation). This is easier to satisfy if it is clear the patient has consented to the hon.

We are committed to creating a technology infrastructure that allows systems to communicate securely, using open standards for data and interoperability. This will enable health and care professionals to have access to the information they need to provide care. Effective technology supported by interoperability can reduce patient safety errors.<\/p>

<\/p>

Interoperability and openness is one of the guiding principles set out in, \u2018The future of healthcare: our vision for digital, data and technology in health and care\u2019, published on 17 October 2018.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are also investing in the development of Local Health and Care Record Exemplars (LHCRs). These will allow local areas to ensure data is collected consistently and made available to support joined up and safer patient care. LHCRs will give health and care staff better and faster access to vital information about the person in their care as patients move between different parts of the National Health Service and social care system. The first five Exemplars cover 23.5 million people and will each receive up to £7.5 million over two years.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4065", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thurrock"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jackie Doyle-Price"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-21T17:18:48.423Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "NHS: ICT"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to reduce patient notification errors due to NHS bodies having different communication systems.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4464", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Melanie Onn"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Great Grimsby"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Melanie Onn"} ], "uin" : "209342"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1042285", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1042285/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The NHS Long Term Plan outlines the expectation that all National Health Service funded care providers in England should have implemented the learning disability improvement standards by 2023/24.<\/p>
