National Health Service organisations have the freedom to make decisions on their car parking to reflect their local situation and needs. The car parking principles provide clear direction and leadership but a central interference in these freedoms would not help NHS trusts and could result in unwarranted interference in how their clinical services are locally managed and delivered.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The powers available to the Secretary of State for Health under Section 42 of the NHS Act 2006 to provide funding to NHS organisations in distress are not appropriate for car parking. There are no other levers or other conditions available for the financing of NHS organisations to implement the NHS patient, visitor and staff car parking principles.<\/p>

<\/p>
NHS England has committed to increase the number of scientific and diagnostic services which are part of accreditation programmes, and which demonstrate robust quality assurance measures, by the end of March 2016 (NHS England Business Plan (2014-15 to 2016-17).<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England is liaising with The United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS), the Royal College of Physicians and other key partners to improve participation in the IQIPS accreditation scheme.<\/p>

Paediatric audiology services which have not been successful in applying to be accredited under the IQIPS programme are not reported.<\/p>

The Department does not hold data on how many European Health Insurance Cards (EHICs) were issued to Swiss nationals and nationals of other European Union (EU) countries in each year since 2010. This is because data on specific nationality is not recorded as part of the application process.<\/p>

It is not possible to accurately quantify the cost of potential fraud at this time.<\/p>
