The Department of Health is collaborating with a number of Government Departments, Agencies and non-governmental organisation partners to provide support and screening to health service volunteers assisting with the Ebola crisis in West Africa. This work is being managed by the Department for International Development in conjunction with UK Med.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

UK Med run the UK International Emergency Medical<\/em>, of UK surgeons, anaesthetists, emergency physicians/nurses and other supporting medical, nursing and paramedical staff. They ensure that those who volunteer for this programme of work are appropriately trained, prepared and accountable.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The programme comprises a robust selection process, pre-deployment preparations and occupational health and psychological screening, training in the United Kingdom with further training and mentoring in Sierra Leone, and advice and support from Public Health England on monitoring health on return.<\/p>

Clinical policies are developed by the appropriate service specific clinical reference group and reviewed by the Clinical Prioritisation Advisory Group (CPAG). CPAG then makes a recommendation whether to commission the service or treatment in question. CPAG recommendations are ratified by the Specialised Commissioning Oversight Group (SCOG).<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The length of time to produce a clinical commissioning policy is variable depending on the complexity of the subject area. The timeline is typically between 6-9 months but can be shorter.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

SCOG has operational oversight of specialised commissioning and has delegated authority to make decisions on the recommendations made by CPAG, which provides advice to NHS England about any decision-making that defines access to clinical services. The Directly Commissioned Services Committee, a sub-committee of the NHS England Board, oversees the delivery of directly commissioned services within the overall strategy set by NHS England. The SCOG reports to this committee.<\/p>

Achieving Better Access to Mental Health Services by 2020<\/em> sets out action the Government is taking to provide better access to mental health services within the next year, including a national waiting time standard for talking therapies of 75% of people waiting for less than six weeks and 95% of people waiting for less than 18 weeks. It also sets out its vision for further progress by 2020.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

£40 million in additional funding has been identified to enable change in the current financial year, and a further £80 million will be freed up for 2015-16 to support implementation of waiting times in mental health services.<\/p>

The Government recognises that the Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme (PPRS) payments that companies make under the 2014 scheme in respect of the United Kingdom need to be allocated to each of the devolved administrations in a fair way. Under the new arrangements introduced as part of the 2014 scheme, the apportionments will be agreed with the devolved administrations each year. The method for apportioning 2014-15 payments has not yet been finalised.<\/p>

The work announced in the Five Year Forward View relating to:<\/p>

<\/p>

- piloting the introduction of Multispecialty Community Providers and such providers taking over the running of their local hospital;<\/p>

<\/p>

- piloting the pooling of health and social care budgets between the National Health Service and the local authority delegated to Multispecialty Community Providers;<\/p>

<\/p>

- piloting the introduction of Primary and Acute Care Services; and<\/p>

<\/p>

- the process is that will ensure that Foundation Trusts are able to open general practitioner surgeries with registered lists<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

is now being developed by NHS England, Monitor, the Trust Development Authority, the Care Quality Commission, Public Health England and Health Education England. Sector involvement will be essential to this future work and more details about how they will be taking this work forward, and who they will be engaging, will be announced by them in due course.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Monitor and NHS England share responsibility for the payment system. As set out in the Five Year Forward View, NHS England and Monitor have committed to working together to consider whether any adjustments are needed to the NHS payment regime to reflect the costs of delivering safe and efficient services for smaller providers relative to larger ones.<\/p>

Hospitals in England that routinely provide treatment for patients resident in Wales have contracts, or service level agreements, with the Local Health Boards (LHBs) responsible for the care of these patients, which provide for the costs of treatment to be recovered. Other hospitals which treat Welsh patients less frequently will invoice the responsible LHB directly for the costs of individual cases. NHS England has published guidance to confirm which body is the responsible commissioner for all types of patients, including those whose use services across national borders within the United Kingdom.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

A comparatively small number of Welsh residents (approximately 15,000) are registered with a general practitioner (GP) in England. A protocol is currently in place between the NHS in England and the Welsh Government which provides for the care of these patients to be commissioned by the clinical commissioning group responsible for the GP practice (a reciprocal arrangement covers English residents who have a GP in Wales). This protocol is currently under review.<\/p>
