Local authorities (LAs) have a statutory duty to take the steps that they decide are appropriate to improve the physical and mental health of the people in their areas. It is for individual LAs to identify and address the particular needs of their population. Many of the services they arrange have the potential to benefit mental health and wellbeing, including drug and alcohol misuse treatment. LAs will receive £16 billion over the current five-year spending review period to fund their health improvement activity.<\/p>
<\/p>
Local authorities also have statutory responsibilities to do with the Mental Health Act. The Care Quality Commission monitors the operation of the Act, and reports to Parliament each year on its findings. The Independent Review of the Mental Health Act will also examine current practice and look at how the Act is working for patients, and how it can be improved.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4065", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thurrock"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jackie Doyle-Price"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-06T16:25:10.533Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mental Health Services"} , "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, what steps his Department is taking to recognised local authority mental health services as a key service alongside the NHS and to ensure that the statutory functions of local authority mental health services are adequately funded.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4658", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alex Sobel"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leeds North West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Alex Sobel"} ], "uin" : "110445"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/780493", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/780493/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government recognises that appropriate and timely sharing of data is essential to improving care, treatment and support for service users. We are committed to ensuring the health and social care system in England realises the benefits of sharing data in a safe, secure and legal way.<\/p>
<\/p>
Government policy has outlined the importance of sharing data between organisations at a local level. The Department has worked with the Centre of Excellence for Information Sharing to understand the factors which impact on information sharing in mental health crisis care.<\/p>
<\/p>
Challenges around transferring patient notes and records between different organisations and care settings are recognised and will be addressed, in part, by the move from paper records to electronic systems for recording and sharing patient information.<\/p>
<\/p>
\u2018Information: To Share or not to share? The Information Governance Review\u2019 (2013) created a duty on National Health Service trusts to share information.

The Government has not received any recommendations from the Rebalancing Medicines Legislation and Pharmacy Regulation Programme Board to allow non-pharmacists to supervise the sale and supply of prescription medicines. In keeping with its terms of reference, the Rebalancing Programme Board is giving very careful consideration to the supervision of the sale and supply of medicines and the roles of registered pharmacists and registered pharmacy technicians, under the guidance of the four UK Chief Pharmaceutical Officers. Only when the Board has firm proposals will it make recommendations to Ministers and the devolved administrations. Any changes to legislation will be subject to full public consultation, including the completion of an impact assessment, underpinned by a quality systems approach, which maintains patient and public safety.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Rebalancing Programme Board meets regularly according to business need, having met three times in the last year. Full terms of reference and minutes of the meetings are published at:<\/p>
