My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State wrote to all Chairs of NHS organisations on 2 June 2015 setting out a range of measures to ensure executive pay is proportionate and justifiable. He asked the Chairs urgently to review their policies on executive pay; to seek the views of Ministers before making any executive appointment paid more than £142,500 per year; to advise him of all current executive pay more than £142,500 and to provide a justification; to ensure that the HM Treasury guidance on off-payroll executive appointments is followed rigorously. He also announced his intention of introducing a limit on the rates payable to off-payroll interim executives; of introducing a national framework for deciding executive pay throughout the NHS; of clamping down on executives who retire and then return to NHS employment so that they do not gain financially from this; and set out his expectation that new redundancy terms should apply to all executive staff.

Train and station operators are required by their operating licences to establish and comply with a disabled people's protection policy (DPPP). This must be approved by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), the independent regulator of the railways, which took over responsibility for approving and monitoring DPPPs from the Department in October 2013.<\/p>
A DPPP sets out the arrangements and assistance that an operator will provide to protect the interests of disabled people using its services and to facilitate such use. Network Rail has a DPPP setting out the assistance it will provide at London Euston and at the other 17 stations it manages.<\/p>
If there is evidence that Network Rail is not achieving good outcomes for passengers this should be referred to Network Rail so they can put it right, or to ORR if it is not resolved. ORR can take a number of steps where it finds evidence that there is a problem, including, ultimately, following its enforcement policy where other means have failed.<\/p>
I have contacted Network Rail on this point who have informed me that they offer a free mobility assistance service to all passengers that feel they need an extra hand during their travel to and from Euston station. This includes help boarding and alighting trains, assistance with onward journeys on other forms of transport, access to the station toilets and access to the first class lounge. This service does not include assistance to and from the shops on the concourse. Mobility assistance vehicles are available, seating a maximum of three people.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3974", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Claire Perry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Devizes"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Claire Perry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-10-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-10-14T13:21:21.977Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-10-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Euston Station"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will carry out an assessment of the effectiveness of Network Rail's assistance service for passengers at London Euston; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1538", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rosie Cooper"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Lancashire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rosie Cooper"} ], "uin" : "11196"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418463", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418463/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
NHS England works in partnership with local commissioners and providers to ensure people with long-term conditions, such as hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), are supported to live healthily and independently and are empowered to take better control over the care they receive.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The majority of patients with HS can be managed through routine access to primary and secondary care, including dermatology clinics, which is responsibility of the local National Health Service commissioners. Treatment and management of the condition involves antibiotics, antiseptic washes and immunosuppressive treatments such as steroids or ciclosporin, which a general practitioner may prescribe.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
For those patients with the more serious forms of HS, referral to a specialised dermatology service may be appropriate. NHS England commissions services for people with rare and complex skin conditions, including HS, and has set out what providers must have in place in order to offer specialist dermatology care. This supports equity of access to a high quality service for patients wherever they live. These services may provide more intensive therapies with the involvement of a range of health and care professionals, subject to a patient\u2019s needs. More information can be found by viewing the specialised dermatology service specification at the following link:<\/p>
