In a recent speech to the Local Government Association the Secretary of State for Health urged the public to take more personal responsibility for looking after older people. He stressed that the health service, local government, the voluntary sector as well as individuals themselves need to work together to ensure vulnerable people such as the elderly continue to live their life in the community.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Through the Care Act 2014, the Department has required local authorities to have measures in place to identify people in their area who would benefit from universal services to help reduce, delay or prevent needs for care and support. This includes needs that may arise from social isolation. The Department has supported a \u2018digital toolkit\u2019 for local commissioners, which was developed by the Campaign to End Loneliness. Since its launch in July 2012, the toolkit has been supporting commissioners in understanding, mapping and commissioning for loneliness and social isolation in their communities.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Care Act also provides for greater support for carers to support family and friends who need help. In the Secretary of State\u2019s speech he committed the Department to develop a new carers\u2019 strategy that looks at the best of international practice and examines what more we can do to support existing carers and the new carers we will need.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department has published its strategic vision for volunteering, Social action for health and well-being: building co-operative communities.<\/em> This sets out how we can support people to give their time, more often and in ways that fit in with their lives, to bring health and wellbeing benefits for themselves and others in their communities.<\/p> <\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/p>"}

Data on net spending on contract and agency staff for NHS trusts (including Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust) is unaudited financial data taken from the NHS Summarisation Schedules and consolidated figures were published in the Department\u2019s Annual Report and Accounts. These data sets were collected for the first time in 2013/14.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 2. The figures for NHS trusts exclude spending on bank staff. Data on temporary/agency staff reported in the Department\u2019s Annual Report and Accounts include payments to external bodies such as NHS Professionals for the supply of bank staff, working extra hours at NHS rates of pay. The above table presents data excluding spending on bank staff using unaudited figures for the element of NHS trust expenditure relating to bank staff.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 3. NHS trusts existing in 2013/14 were asked to also provide prior year figures (2012/13) for Contract and Agency staff in the NHS Summarisation Schedules. These figures have not been included in the answer as the data provided only includes information from existing 2013/14 NHS trusts, rather than data from all 2012/13 trusts.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 4. The prior year figures included in Table C12 of the published accounts have not been included in the answer, as they were compiled on a different basis to the 2013/14 figures. The figures published for 2012/13 for NHS trusts are based on non-permanently employed staff which is defined as \u201cothers engaged on the objectives of the organisation and will include staff on inward secondment or loan from other organisations, bank/agency/temporary staff and contract staff.\u201d This reconciles to the figures for those organisations in note 3 (Staff Costs 2012/13), whereas the 2013-14 figures are compiled for the first time under a stricter definition of contingent labour.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 5. The figure for 2013/14 Contract and Agency staff spend for all NHS trusts reported in the published accounts under the heading \u201cTemporary/Agency\u201d (Table C12 page 197) is £1.184 billion. This is understated as one organisation did not provide the data, so the answer is based on a higher figure (including spend on bank staff) of £1.209 billion.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 6. In the guidance that accompanied the data collection, the definition of Contract / Agency staff is: \u201cAgency\u201d employee payments for the employment of staff where the staff remain employees of the agency and \u201cContract staff\u201d where the NHS trust has control over numbers and qualifications of staff (in contrast to a service obtained under contract) .<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 7. Excluded from the \u201cAgency/Contract\u201d category are the costs of staff recharged by another organisation where no element of overhead is included i.e. where the staff costs are shared between the NHS Trust and other bodies; staff on secondment or on loan from other organisations; amounts payable to contractors in respect of the provision of services (for example, cleaning or security).<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 8. Where an NHS trust obtains foundation trust status part way through any year, the data provided is only for the part of the year the organisation operated as an NHS Trust.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 9. For the first time in 2013/14 the figures for NHS trusts and foundation trusts have been aggregated and published in the Departmental Annual Accounts together under the heading \u201cNHS Providers\u201d. Figures provided separately for either sector will include a small amount of cross-sector transactions that would ordinarily be eliminated if the figures were provided at group level.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 10. Data on net spending on agency staff presented for foundation trusts for last four years is audited data from in-year returns of NHS foundation trusts.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 11. Data on net spending on agency staff presented for foundation trusts for last four quarters is unaudited data from in-year returns of NHS foundation trusts. It comprises spending on agency and contract staff.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> 12. Annual data is based on published accounts data. 2014-15 data is expected to be published next month. Quarterly data for 2014-15 is drawn from unpublished in-year returns.<\/p> <\/p>"}
