In the 2014 People Survey, 25 staff respondents declaring a long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability reported that they had personally experienced bullying or harassment at work in the past 12 months. 62 staff respondents declaring that they did not have a long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability reported that they had personally experienced bullying or harassment at work in the past 12 months.<\/p>
<\/p>
Whilst these figures are below the Civil Service average, the Department does not tolerate any form of bullying and harassment. Clear steps have been taken since the days of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister which was accused of a culture of bullying (Office of the Deputy Prime Minister Select Committee, January 2006, HC 559).<\/p>
<\/p>
We have a clear policy that sets out the behaviours that are expected of all staff, and the behaviours that will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action. The policy also makes clear how staff should address any concerns they may have. Individual members of staff also have access to that policy and to a confidential employee assistance programme operated by an external provider that offers support, advice and counselling.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4043", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kris Hopkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Keighley"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kris Hopkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-24T12:17:42.16Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-03-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Surveys"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what proportion of (a) disabled and (b) all other staff in his Department reported experiencing bullying or harassment at work in the most recent Civil Service People Survey.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4277", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mrs Emma Lewell-Buck"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Shields"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mrs Emma Lewell-Buck"} ], "uin" : "227148"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226818", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226818/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The national report of NHS England\u2019s 2014 Cancer Patient Experience Survey showed that of those patients who said they needed it:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- 59% said they were definitely given enough care and help from health or social services after leaving hospital;<\/p>
<\/p>
- 23% said they were to some extent; and<\/p>
<\/p>
- 18% said they did not get enough care and help.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We know that the number of cancer survivors continues to grow \u2013 there are currently around two million people living in the United Kingdom with a cancer diagnosis, and this is projected to increase to four million by 2030.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
There are a number of pieces of work set up to address the needs of people living with and beyond cancer. Macmillan Cancer Support published the first stage of its Routes from Diagnosis<\/em> work in April 2014, developed in conjunction with Public Health England and Monitor Deloitte. A copy of this report has been placed in the Library.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The National Cancer Survivorship Initiative, a multi-agency public sector/third sector partnership, produced a considerable body of evidence and resources for best practice to support the identified needs for people living with and beyond cancer. These were published in March 2013 in the report Living With and Beyond Cancer \u2013 Taking Actions to Improve Outcomes<\/em>. A copy of this report has been placed in the Library.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> NHS England is now delivering a programme of work in collaboration with Macmillan Cancer Support to incorporate a number of these actions into mainstream commissioning and service provision. This work is formally supported by reference to the Cancer Recovery Package in the recently published Five Year Forward View, which aims to ensure care is coordinated between primary and secondary care so that patients are assessed and care planned appropriately. Living with and beyond cancer is also a key theme for the new independent Cancer Taskforce, which will produce a new cancer strategy in summer 2015.<\/p> <\/p>"}
