Public Health England has developed a campaign to raise awareness of the symptom of breathlessness which ran as a local pilot in Oldham and Rochdale from 24 February \u2013 23 March 2014 and as a regional pilot in the East of England 2 February \u2013 1 March 2015.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Breathlessness campaign aims to encourage those with inappropriate breathlessness (breathlessness that is disproportionate to the level of activity undertaken i.e. at rest or on minimal exertion) to go and see their general practitioner (GP). It is primarily aimed at earlier diagnosis of heart and lung disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with scope to reduce premature mortality and to improve the quality of life of those living with these conditions. The key message of the campaign is \u201cIf you get out of breath doing things that you used to be able to do, see your GP. Getting out of breath could be a sign of heart or lung disease. Finding it early makes it more treatable, so don\u2019t ignore it, tell your doctor\u201d.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Evaluation of the regional pilot is still underway, although early findings from follow-up in-depth interviews with a sample of local GPs and pharmacists and pre and post awareness tracking research among the public, are positive.<\/del><\/p>

The Emergency Care Improvement Programme (ECIP) is a clinically led programme that will offer practical help and support to the 27 urgent and emergency care systems across England that are under the most pressure. <\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

The progress of trusts taking part in ECIP will be measured by monitoring improvements in their accident and emergency (A&E) four hour waiting time standard, along with patient outcome and experience indicators. The urgent and emergency care systems taking part in this programme were selected based on performance against the A&E four hour standard in 2014/15 and Q1 of 2015/16 alongside discussions with regional teams from NHS England, Monitor and the Trust Development Authority.<\/ins><\/p>

NHS England is the accountable commissioner and budget holder for all specialised services as set out in The National Health Service Commissioning Board and Clinical Commissioning Groups (Responsibilities and Standing Rules) Regulations 2012, with the Manual for prescribed specialised services providing further detail.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England has achieved significant progress in developing a set of nationally consistent service standards and commissioning policies, which ensure equity of access to high quality services across the board. Those standards and policies will continue to apply for those specialised services which are to be collaboratively commissioned by NHS England and clinical commissioning groups.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England is currently in the process of agreeing the guidance on the collaborative commissioning arrangements which will be in place from 1 April 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England has clarified that where there are collaboratively commissioned services, NHS England will retain the full financial risk for these services for 2015/16. NHS England has advised us that there will be further work conducted over the next year to advise on the range of specialised services for which NHS England should remain the accountable commissioner and budget holder for 2016/17 and future years.<\/p>

My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State meets NHS England on a weekly basis and discusses a wide range of topics, including accident and emergency (A&E) performance data. Monitor, the Care Quality Commission, and the NHS Trust Development Authority also have oversight of trust A&E performance, and are involved in these meetings.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

On the back of a strong economy the Government has made £700 million \u2013 the highest ever figure \u2013 available to the NHS specifically to help with winter pressures. The first tranche of this money was made available earlier than ever.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Local plans to spend this money provide for nearly 8,800 extra staff and almost 6,500 extra beds. Over £25 million is going towards increasing access to general practitioners (GPs), including later and weekend appointments. £50 million will help ambulance services meet rising demand for emergency cases and a separate fund of £250 million will support an extra 100,000 operations so people can be seen quicker and before they need to be admitted as an emergency case.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

This money will also support a range of local initiatives to improve urgent and emergency care including seven day pharmacy services, improvements to NHS 111 and GP out of hours services, short stay units for elderly patients and improvements to hospital discharge processes.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Across Greater Manchester £30 million has been provided with local plans for this to fund over 70 doctors, 300 nurses and 200 extra beds. Clinical commissioning groups in Greater Manchester, as system leaders, are working with NHS England and local partners including local authorities to implement local winter initiatives.<\/p>

My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State meets NHS England on a weekly basis and discusses a wide range of topics, including accident and emergency (A&E) performance data. Monitor, the Care Quality Commission, and the NHS Trust Development Authority also have oversight of trust A&E performance, and are involved in these meetings.<\/p>

On the back of a strong economy the Government has made £700 million \u2013 the highest ever figure \u2013 available to the NHS specifically to help with winter pressures. The first tranche of this money was made available earlier than ever.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Local plans to spend this money provide for nearly 8,800 extra staff and almost 6,500 extra beds. Over £25 million is going towards increasing access to general practitioners (GPs), including later and weekend appointments. £50 million will help ambulance services meet rising demand for emergency cases and a separate fund of £250 million will support an extra 100,000 operations so people can be seen quicker and before they need to be admitted as an emergency case.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

This money will also support a range of local initiatives to improve urgent and emergency care including seven day pharmacy services, improvements to NHS 111 and GP out of hours services, short stay units for elderly patients and improvements to hospital discharge processes.<\/p>

We take the issue of coercion seriously and staff working in abortion clinics are experienced and highly skilled in discussing sensitive issues with women and identifying whether there is any coercion or other risks to the woman.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Women who present for an abortion will always have the opportunity to speak to a health professional on their own at some point during the consultation. Pathways should be in place to refer women to specialised services if coercion is identified.<\/p>
