NHS England has allocated an additional £1.4 million for clinical commissioning group/sustainability and transformation partnership areas to support the delivery of the Learning Disability Mortality Review Programme in 2018/19 in its agreed fourth year of operation. This will facilitate the better establishment and running of the local mortality review programmes and reduce the backlog of mortality reviews. The learning from the reviews is being used to inform work on programmes such as increasing general practitioner annual health checks, care pathways for key mortality issues such as sepsis, epilepsy and constipation, for example, alongside other learning disability health practice improvement work.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-22T12:34:08.423Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Learning Disability: Death"} , "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 his Department plans to allocation additional funding to the Learning Disability Mortality Review Programme to ensure the completion of the outstanding reviews into avoidable deaths of people with learning disabilities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1588", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Keeley"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Worsley and Eccles South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Barbara Keeley"} ], "uin" : "145295"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/906302", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/906302/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

It is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. On this basis, it is not possible to say how much funding is planned in the current financial year.<\/p>

<\/p>

The NIHR recognises that CFS/ME is a debilitating condition and is speaking with the United Kingdom CFS/ME Research Collaborative and patient representatives about how best we can support a joined up approach to high quality research into this complex disorder.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "145354"} , {"_value" : "145355"} , {"_value" : "145356"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-22T12:30:42.97Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"} , "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, how much funding from the public purse he plans to allocate to biomedical research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in the current financial year.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4443", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Carol Monaghan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Glasgow North West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Carol Monaghan"} ], "uin" : "145357"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/906433", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/906433/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government recognises the pressures that sleep-in liabilities are placing on social care providers and is exploring options to minimise any impact on the sector. Any intervention to support the sector would need to be proportionate and necessary.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the interim the Government will continue to work closely with stakeholders to ensure that we have a clear understanding of any impact the sector may face.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-22T11:01:54.12Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Services: Finance"} , "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, pursuant to the Answer of 22 February 2018 to Question 128062 on social services: minimum wage, if he will provide funding to reimburse the historical capital costs of social care sector organisations.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4036", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Luciana Berger"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Liverpool, Wavertree"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Luciana Berger"} ], "uin" : "145320"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/905555", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/905555/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

In November 2017, my Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State announced that, from April 2018, the Health Service Investigation Branch (HSIB) would investigate each case of early neonatal death, term intrapartum stillbirth and severe brain injury in babies, as well as each case of maternal death in England. This remit and the definition of qualifying maternity cases was set out in the Secretary of State\u2019s directions, NHS Trust Development Authority (HSIB Maternity Investigations) Directions 2018, published on 26 April 2018.<\/p>

<\/p>

The new investigative approach began in a single region in April 2018 and will roll out to all areas of England during 2018/19. Rollout will be complete by the end of March 2019. It is estimated that there are approximately 1,000 cases of birth-related deaths or serious brain injuries in babies in England every year. The expectation is that the learning from investigations will spur system improvements leading to fewer deaths and injuries in the future.<\/p>

<\/p>

The HSIB has been allocated £8 million of additional funding to implement the new maternity investigation programme in 2018/19.<\/p>

<\/p>

The HSIB will produce an investigation report for each maternity investigation it undertakes and will make recommendations to the relevant National Health Service trust or foundation trust.<\/p>

<\/p>

It will be for individual trusts to put into place actions to address the recommendations of individual reports and ensure that the learning from HSIB investigations is put into practice so that avoidable harms are reduced. The Care Quality Commission, which monitors, inspects and regulates NHS providers does, in carrying out its functions, take into account a variety of data and intelligence sources. The HSIB maternity investigation recommendations and the actions NHS trusts and foundation trusts have taken in response could form part of these data sources and be taken into account where relevant.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "144995"} , {"_value" : "144996"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-21T14:01:43.563Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-05-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Babies: Death"} , "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, when the Health Service Investigation Branch plans to being its investigation into avoidable baby deaths.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4667", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mike Amesbury"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Weaver Vale"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mike Amesbury"} ], "uin" : "144994"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/905556", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/905556/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
