Each commissioning organisation involved in the procurement process produced their own lessons learnt report, and the decisions around the publication of lessons learned reports are for individual integrated care boards (ICBs). With reference to guidance and support to ICBs on procurement, NHS England published the Strategic framework for the NHS Commercial Sector on 28 November 2023, a copy of which is attached.<\/p>
The framework aims to encourage regional collaboration between integrated care systems by creating regional collaborative commercial organisations. These will operate as group procurement organisations in providing the necessary system leadership, capability and capacity to deliver strategic commercial outcomes and supply chain efficiencies, and will be designed against a national blueprint to ensure consistency.<\/p>
Every National Health Service provider will be expected to be a member of a collaborative organisation and a senior, experienced, qualified commercial leader will be appointed to run and promote each organisation at an executive-level, with ownership for commercial strategy and all non-pay spend.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4948", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Markham"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Markham"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1686102/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "2034, 2035 and 2036 - Lord Hunt - NHS England Strategic framework for NHS Commercial - 2-2-24.pdf"} , "title" : "Strategic framework for NHS Commercial"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-02-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "HL2034"} , {"_value" : "HL2035"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-02-06T14:16:10.253Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Integrated Care Boards: Procurement\n"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government, following the judgment in Consultant Connect Ltd v NHS Bath et al of 29 July 2022, what actions the integrated care boards who were defendants in that case have taken to ensure that members of the public and commercial suppliers have confidence in their procurement processes.", "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" : "HL2036"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1491768", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1491768/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Defra is working with Devolved Administrations, Arm\u2019s Length Bodies and NGOs to monitor and respond to the effect of avian influenza on wild birds. This includes providing advice on mitigation measures that can be put in place to both protect public health and the impact on wild birds where possible. However, avian influenza is a natural transmission process in wild birds and there is limited evidence that mitigation measures are effective at reducing transmission of avian influenza between wild birds. We will, however, continue to take whatever action we can, in accordance with international best practice and the latest evidence.<\/p>

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) operates a robust programme of wild bird surveillance across Great Britain and engages in year-round avian influenza surveillance of dead wild birds submitted via public reports and warden patrols. Between 25 October 2021 and 22 July 2022, over 3,000 wild birds have been tested. Of these, 1454 have tested positive for H5 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). There have been findings in 347 different locations in 61 different species in 79 different counties. A report (updated weekly) of findings of HPAI in wild birds is published by <\/p> Academic Year1<\/sup><\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2016/17<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2017/18<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2018/19<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2019/20<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2020/21<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> TSM target<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 999<\/p><\/td> 999<\/p><\/td> 1,078<\/p><\/td> 1,222<\/p><\/td> 1,200<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Postgraduate new entrants2<\/sup><\/strong><\/p><\/td> 1,087<\/p><\/td> 1,103<\/p><\/td> 1,242<\/p><\/td> 1,281<\/p><\/td> 1,615<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Percentage of TSM target reached<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 109%<\/p><\/td> 110%<\/p><\/td> 115%<\/p><\/td> 105%<\/p><\/td> 135%<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> Source: Department for Education initial teacher training (ITT) Census statistical publications Information for the number of individuals employed by private providers to teach PE in primary schools is not available as data is only collected from a sample of state-funded secondary schools with electronic timetabling.<\/p> The number and proportion of hours of PE taught by a teacher without a relevant post-A level qualification, in state funded secondary schools, in each of the last five years for which data are available, is provided in the table attached.
