The National Wound Care Strategy Programme (NWCSP) was commissioned by NHS England and NHS Improvement and launched in September 2018 to scope the development of a wound care national strategy for England that focuses on improving care relating to pressure ulcers, lower limb ulcers and surgical wounds. It addresses unwarranted variation in United Kingdom wound care services by proposing a move towards clinical pathways that flow across different provider organisations to better meet the needs of patients.<\/p>
This will improve patient care through quicker diagnosis and access to appropriate treatment, leading to improved healing rates and reduced recurrence rates. Better healing and reduced recurrence will reduce overall prevalence of wounds, patient suffering, expenditure on inappropriate and ineffective treatments and the amount of clinical time spent on wound care. This will reduce the overall annual cost of wound care to the National Health Service. In the last 12 months, the NWCSP has audited the quality of care in secondary care pressure ulcer patients and published lower limb recommendations alongside a case for implementation. The surgical wounds recommendations have been finalised and are being published ahead of the implementation strategy. In 2021 the NWCSP will move into implementation while continuing to develop the resources and evidence to support this work.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4708", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Bethell"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Bethell"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-03-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "HL11873"} , {"_value" : "HL11874"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-03-16T17:01:34.513Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-01-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Wound Dressings: Costs"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the paper by Julian Guest et al Cohort study evaluating the burden of wounds to the UK\u2019s NHS in 2017/18: update from 2012/13, published in the British Medical Journal on 22 December 2020, what steps they are taking to address the annual cost to the NHS of wound care.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2024", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Hunt of Kings Heath"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Hunt of Kings Heath"} ], "uin" : "HL11876"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1015883", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1015883/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
All people in the United Kingdom are able to access the National Health Service. However, since the UK has a residency based healthcare system, charges for most non-primary care services will apply to those people that are neither ordinarily resident in the UK, nor exempt from charge under the NHS (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 2015, as amended.<\/p>
<\/p>
European Union citizens who are currently ordinarily resident in the UK are treated in the same way as ordinarily resident UK nationals for the purpose of receiving NHS-funded healthcare. There is no requirement for European Economic Area nationals to have a \u2018right to reside\u2019 in the UK under the Free Movement Directive, nor to exercise treaty rights or hold Comprehensive Sickness Insurance, in order to meet the ordinary residence definition.<\/p>
<\/p>
For EU citizens resident in the UK by the end of the implementation period and in scope of the Withdrawal Agreement, their entitlement to free NHS services will not change, as long as they continue to be ordinarily resident in the UK.<\/p>
<\/p>
When EU citizens living in the UK apply to the EU settlement scheme for UK immigration status, they will not be required to demonstrate they have held comprehensive sickness insurance as a qualifying criteria. The settlement scheme will be open to all EU citizens resident in the UK by 31 December 2020, including EU citizens studying in the UK. Those granted pre- or settled status under the settlement scheme will continue to have access to the NHS as long as they are ordinarily resident in the UK and therefore be able to access care as a UK national would.<\/p>
<\/p>
EU students in the UK at the end of the implementation period will also have a European Health Insurance Card. Under the Withdrawal Agreement they can continue to use this during their stay to access needs arising healthcare.<\/p>
