Test uptake among the eligible invited population in 2017 ranged between 19.4% and 82.4% depending on clinical commissioning group (CCG) area.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2017, 27 CCGs reported treatment data; for the 1,364 people who tested positive for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in these areas, 60.3% accessed treatment. Overall treatment completion among this group stood at 71.0% in 2017.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England has invited CCGs with high incidence of tuberculosis (TB) to submit plans on how they will locally increase uptake of testing and treatment for LTBI, with the ability to access NHS England funding to support implementation of their plans. £35 million has been made available to support this work over the past four years. NHS England supports CCGs to develop local plans for increasing uptake of LTBI testing, including sharing best practice. This contributes to reducing variation between local authority areas.<\/p>
<\/p>
Modelling undertaken as part of the five-year TB strategy indicated that return on investment should begin to be recovered from year five onwards, with net savings at year 10 and beyond.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-02-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-21T15:03:47.367Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Tuberculosis"} , "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, what level of uptake has been achieved by the new entrant latent TB testing and treatment programme; b) what plans have been put in place to (a) increase uptake, (b) reduce variance between local authority areas and (c) share best practice and whether the programme is on target to accrue the savings to the public purse described in the Collaborative TB Strategy for England.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1604", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Virendra Sharma"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ealing, Southall"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Virendra Sharma"} ], "uin" : "222613"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1063647", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1063647/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
NHS England has considered the expansion of the service to Birmingham following initial concerns, in particular regarding access to immunisation and screening programmes for Babylon GP at Hand patients, and a solution has been identified. NHS England will now work together with NHS Hammersmith and Fulham and Birmingham and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), national screening services, and Babylon GP at Hand to mobilise the service and agree a start date.<\/p>
General practice payments are made to practices according to their registered patient list size, so the funding for general practice care will follow the patients. NHS England will shortly engage on changes to out of area registration rules, some of the current payments to primary care providers and the mechanisms by which new providers can enter the market.<\/p>
The new General Practitioner Contract Framework made two changes to the current payment system:<\/p>
- the rurality index payment will be amended to apply to patients living within a practice catchment area only, rather than to all patients. This is to better reflect costs; and<\/p>
- the London adjustment will be amended to apply to patients resident in London, rather than registered with a London-based practice<\/p>

This will look at the impact of the service on patient experience, primary care workforce, use of other services, such as accident and emergency departments and walk-in centres, and system value.<\/p>
<\/p>
Babylon GP at Hand will provide physical premises in both London and Birmingham for those patients who require a face-to-face consultation. Under the current GP of Choice Policy, the CCGs where \u2018out of area\u2019 patients live are required to ensure out of hours care and home visits can be accessed by those patients in their resident area if they need it.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-02-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "222634"} , {"_value" : "222635"} , {"_value" : "222637"} , {"_value" : "222638"} , {"_value" : "222639"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-21T16:24:57.283Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "GP at Hand"} , "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, what safeguards his Department has put in place to ensure that patients that have signed up to Babylon GP at Hand application maintain access to a local GP practice in the event that they need to see a GP face-to-face.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/298", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve McCabe"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Selly Oak"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve McCabe"} ], "uin" : "222640"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1063661", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1063661/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government is working alongside stakeholders in the adult social care sector to ensure there is the right number of people, with the right skills, knowledge and values to meet increasing demand, and deliver high quality, person-centred care and support.<\/p>
In recognition of this, on 12 February the Government launched a new national adult social care recruitment campaign. The campaign, \u2018Every Day is Different\u2019, showcases how rewarding and varied social care careers can be, with opportunities for progression and professional development. The campaign will run across February and March and raise the image and profile of the sector and encourage people with the right values to apply for current vacancies. The Government also continues to work with its delivery partner Skills for Care to provide a range of resources and practical toolkits for providers to help attract, train and retain staff.<\/p>
The upcoming Social Care Green Paper will set out the Department\u2019s proposals for reform of the sector to put it on a more sustainable future footing. This will include a vision for workforce and proposals to boost recruitment and retention in the longer term.<\/p>

The Long Term Plan made clear the importance of moving care into the community, and the Government\u2019s commitment to achieving this. It confirmed that over the next 10 years the National Health Service will deliver more care closer to home, and to support this at least an extra £4.5 billion pounds by 2023/24 will be invested in primary medical and community health services. This is the first time in the history of the NHS that real terms funding for primary and community health services is guaranteed to grow faster than the rising NHS budget overall. The Long Term Plan also highlighted the importance of expanded community multidisciplinary teams and improved responsiveness of community health response services.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Long Term Plan also set out improvements in social care that will be made by enhanced health in care homes, the comprehensive model for personalised care and local health and care plans. We recognise that decisions on future reform in health and social care must be aligned, and this is precisely why the Long Term Plan and the upcoming Social Care Green Paper have been developed in tandem.<\/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" : "2019-02-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-21T16:31:13.907Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "NHS"} , "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, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that (a) community services and (b) social care are fully incorporated into the NHS Long Term Plan.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4653", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephen Morgan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Portsmouth South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Morgan"} ], "uin" : "222657"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&answer.dateOfAnswer=2019-02-21&answeringDeptSortName=Health+and+Social+Care", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 30, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
