Such information as is available is from reference costs, which are the average cost to National Health Service trusts and NHS foundation trusts of providing defined services in a given financial year to NHS patients. Reference costs for acute care are collected by Healthcare Resource Groups (HRGs), which are standard groupings of clinically similar treatments that consume common levels of healthcare resource. The HRGs in the attached table therefore include the costs of other knee procedures in addition to knee replacements.<\/p>

Our mental health Strategy, No Health Without Mental Health <\/em>states that the Race Equality Action Plan<\/em> provides a strong base from which commissioners and service providers can make improvements. These will rely on:<\/p>

<\/p>

- local collection and monitoring of information on ethnicity and culture;<\/p>

- better use of these data to inform commissioning and provision in health and social care;<\/p>

- a focus on outcomes that work for individuals and communities;<\/p>

- monitoring and evaluating effectiveness of service delivery, especially around equality needs; and<\/p>

- establishing mechanisms that allow local user groups to engage with providers and commissioners, and that empower and support them so that they can engage effectively.<\/p>

<\/p>

Additionally, our new mental health action plan, Closing the Gap <\/em>sets out our priorities for essential change in mental health: 25 areas where people can expect to see and experience the fastest changes. The fourth priority is that we will tackle inequalities around access to mental health services. We know that people from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities have to date been less likely to use psychological therapies.<\/p>

<\/p>

Which is why we are working with the Race Equality Foundation and other stakeholders to try and understand why this is the case and to understand inequalities around access to other services. NHS England are also working with BME community leaders to encourage more people to use psychological therapies.<\/p>

The Ministerial Working Group on Equality in Mental Health has been established to support the Mental Health Equality work-stream of the Mental Health Strategy programme. The group will report to the Mental Health Strategy Ministerial Advisory Group. This will help to ensure that equality issues directly inform strategy implementation and enable the Government to fulfil their duties under the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act<\/a>.<\/p>

The Delivering Race Equality in mental health care programme, a five-year Department of Health programme launched in January 2005, was developed to address inequalities in patient admission, detention and experience of services.<\/p>

Information concerning the number of adult cystic fibrosis (CF) patients cared for by CF centres in England in each of the last four years is not available. This data has only been collected since the introduction of the tariff for CF services in 2011.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the attached table we have provided the number and proportion of CF centres treating 250 patients or more in each of the last three years.<\/p>

It should be noted that theStandards of Care<\/em>, updated by CF Trust in 2011 does not state that 250 patients is the maximum number a CF centre should treat, but rather that when a centre reaches 250 patients, and anticipates that numbers will continue to rise, the development of alternative specialist centres should be considered.<\/p>
