Age-adjusted rates within the G20 for testicular cancer vary from 0.6 to 10.1 per 100,000 over the last five years. The United Kingdom value is 7.1 per 100,000. There are differences in data recording across the world which will at least partly account for the range of values seen.<\/p>

The Government fully understands that maintaining access to all medicines and medical products, including critical medicines and short shelf-life products, is vitally important to millions of people in this country. Ensuring unhindered supply of these products remains the Government\u2019s top priority.<\/p>

As in preparation for 29 March and 12 April, our \u2018no deal\u2019 EU Exit contingency plans for 31 October will cover the NHS, social care and the independent sector and covers all medicines, medical devices and clinical consumables, supplies for clinical trials, vaccines and countermeasures, and organs and tissues for transplants.<\/p>

The Department has continued to work closely with the Devolved Administrations, industry trade bodies and suppliers, the NHS and other key stakeholders. Prior to 29 March, the Department analysed the supply chains of 12,300 medicines, close to half a million product lines of medical devices and clinical consumables, vaccines used in national and local programmes, and essential non-clinical goods on which the health and care system relies. These analyses and assessments have been updated where necessary and will continue to be refined while a \u2018no deal\u2019 EU Exit remains a possibility. This work has informed our plans.<\/p>

We are asking suppliers to analyse their supply chains and to make alternative plans if they anticipate disruption, including rerouting to alternative ports or using airfreight where necessary. Our contingency measures aim to support industry-led measures and, where required, act as a \u2018last resort\u2019 to be used only when a supplier\u2019s alternative arrangements encounter difficulties, to ensure uninterrupted supply.<\/p>

In the case of medicines that cannot be stockpiled because, for example, they have short shelf-lives, such as medical radioisotopes, we are working closely with suppliers to make alternative arrangements using airfreight.<\/p>

NHS Improvement, through an open and competitive procurement process, awarded Deloitte a contract to support NHS Improvement to develop a new NHS Procurement Target Operating Model. The contract for phase 1 of this work, which ended on 31 May 2019, cost £400,000.<\/p>

The new Procurement Target Operating Model will consider the processes, data, and skills and capabilities to deliver a more efficient procurement service. The remit of the Procurement Target Operating Model programme does not cover clinical products and therefore were not considered as part of this review. NHS Improvement has collaborated with National Health Service providers\u2019 chief executives, finance and procurement leads to develop the NHS\u2019s procurement target operating model. Members of the Healthcare Supply Association have also been engaged with as part of the target operating model\u2019s development.<\/p>

Clinical products, including continence products, which are procured by the NHS are the remit of Supply Chain Coordination Limited who work with NHS providers\u2019 procurement teams across England. Clinical product suppliers have not been engaged with on the new procurement target operating model as they are outside the its remit.<\/p>

In England, Health Education England (HEE) is supporting NHS England\u2019s National Stroke Programme to support the education and training of the healthcare workforce in England to deliver stroke care, and this includes increasing the number of medical professionals able to carry out mechanical thrombectomy procedures. The interim NHS People Plan committed to the development of a credential for mechanical thrombectomy, to support the delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan. HEE will work with the Royal College of Radiologists who are developing a medical credential, and work is expected to be completed later in 2019. The Royal College of Radiologists\u2019 remit is throughout the United Kingdom.<\/p>

NHS England is responsible for commissioning endovascular thrombectomy treatment in designated specialised neuroscience centres.<\/p>

Endovascular thrombectomy treatment requires specialist skills to maintain standards of safety and effectiveness. As the number of trained specialist doctors and staff who deliver the service is very small, not all health trusts provide these services.<\/p>

Services are being developed nationally in 24 neuroscience centres, with 22 centres currently providing a thrombectomy service. These centres are extending their service hours in a phased and safe way while they recruit and train the required specialists.<\/p>

Currently there are two centres providing a full 24/7 service, a further six centres will provide 24/7 services by the end of 2019/20. Other centres are developing their services and teams to extend their services over the coming years.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4455", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Seema Kennedy"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Ribble"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Seema Kennedy"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-07-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "268416"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-07-02T16:33:36.777Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mechanical Thrombectomy"} , "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, for what reason endovascular thrombectomy treatment is provided 24/7 only at Stoke-on-Trent hospital and St George's hospital in London; and what steps he plans to take to widen the provision of that service.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/553", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ann Clwyd"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cynon Valley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ann Clwyd"} ], "uin" : "268415"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&min-dateTabled=2019-06-24&answeringDeptId=17&min-ddpCreated=2019-06-24T19%3A40%3A30.353Z&dateTabled=2019-06-24&min-ddpModified.=2019-06-26T12%3A48%3A01.332Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 38, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
