We have already invested £82 million to recruit 1,000 newly qualified GPs to combat this, and our 10-Year Health Plan will outline steps to shift care from hospitals back to the community and to a Neighbourhood Health Service, which will bring together vital health and care services, ensuring healthcare is closer to home. We will also train more doctors to increase capacity and take the pressure of people currently working in the system.<\/p>"}

An out of area placement (OAP) for acute mental health in-patient care happens when a person with assessed acute mental health needs, who requires adult mental health acute inpatient care, is admitted to a unit that does not form part of the usual local network of services.<\/p>
By this, we mean an inpatient unit that does not usually admit people living in the catchment of the person\u2019s local community mental health service, and where the person cannot be visited regularly by their care co-ordinator to ensure continuity of care and effective discharge planning.<\/p>
Sending Providers are to determine if a placement is classed as an OAP. The definition necessarily allows providers to apply knowledge of local catchment arrangements and the patient\u2019s circumstances in taking a decision if a placement is an OAP. OAPs can occur within one NHS Provider, in other NHS Providers, or in Independent Sector Providers.<\/p>
Based on this definition of an adult acute mental health OAP, it is the decision and responsibility of the Sending Provider to submit data identifying the OAP based on the provider\u2019s knowledge of local catchment arrangements and the person\u2019s circumstances. The definition necessarily allows providers the flexibility to make this decision<\/p>

<\/p>VAT is the UK's second largest tax forecast to raise £176 billion in 2024/25, and taxation is a vital source of revenue which helps to fund public services. The Government has no current plans to make changes to the VAT treatment of AEDs.

The Government is determined to shift more healthcare out of hospitals and into the community, to ensure that patients and their families receive personalised care in the most appropriate setting and palliative and end of life care, including hospices, will have a big role to play in that shift.<\/p>
Palliative care services are included in the list of services an integrated care board (ICB) must commission. This promotes a more consistent national approach and supports commissioners in prioritising palliative and end of life care. To support ICBs in this duty, NHS England has published statutory guidance and service specifications.<\/p>
Whilst the majority of palliative and end of life care is provided by National Health Service staff and services, we recognise the vital part that voluntary sector organisations, including hospices, also play in providing support to people at end of life and their loved ones.<\/p>
Most hospices are charitable, independent organisations which receive some statutory funding for providing NHS services. The amount of funding charitable hospices receive varies by ICB area, and will, in part, be dependent on the breadth of a range of palliative and end of life care provision within their ICB footprint.<\/p>
The Department will continue to proactively engage with our stakeholders, including the voluntary sector and independent hospices, on an ongoing basis, in order to understand the issues they face.<\/p>"}
