We recognise that patients are struggling to access general practice (GP), and more must be done to improve the sustainability of the National Health Service both nationally and in rural areas. The Government is committed to fixing the front door to the NHS, which is crucial for its long-term sustainability.<\/p>
We acknowledge the urgent challenge of ensuring rural areas have the resources to continue serving their patients. To address this, we will increase funding for GPs and primary care and shift the focus of the NHS from hospitals to community-based care.<\/p>
We will also ensure rural areas have the necessary workforce to provide integrated, patient-centered services. We are committed to training thousands more GPs across the country, including in rural areas, starting with the training places outlined in the NHS\u2019s Long-Term Workforce Plan. We have also committed to recruiting over 1,000 newly qualified GPs through an £82 million boost to the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme which will increase the number of appointments delivered in general practice.<\/p>
This will increase capacity, secure the future pipeline of GPs, and alleviate the pressure on those currently working in the system.<\/p>"}

NHS England is responsible for allocating funding to integrated care boards (ICBs), including the Humber and North Yorkshire ICB, which are in turn responsible for commissioning specialist myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), services that meet the needs of their population, subject to local prioritisation and funding.<\/p>
The process of commissioning services should take into account best practice guidance, such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence\u2019s (NICE) guidance on ME/CFS diagnosis and management, published in October 2021. The NICE guidelines provide recommendation on principles of care for people with severe ME/CFS, including hospital care, and adapting a multidisciplinary approach involving access to a range of health and social care professionals based on needs.<\/p>
The Department has funded the £3.2 million DecodeME study with the Medical Research Council to understand the causes and consequences of, and find treatments for, ME/CFS. This study aims to understand if there is a genetic component to the condition and, in doing so, increase our understanding of ME/CFS to support the development of diagnostic tests and targeted treatments.<\/p>
A public consultation on the interim delivery plan for ME/CFS was run in 2023, and it is a priority of ours to publish the response to this consultation. Departmental officials are in the process of finalising a report summarising the responses. The consultation responses, alongside continued stakeholder engagement, will inform the development of the final delivery plan, which we aim to publish in the winter of 2024/25.\u202fThe plan will focus on boosting research, improving attitudes and education, and bettering the lives of people with this debilitating disease.<\/p>"}

Skills England will continue to be established in phases over the next 9 to 12 months, expanding its work and taking on its additional functions as its staffing is built up.<\/p>"}

The Government is determined to ensure that the poorest pensioners get the support they need.<\/p>
<\/p>
As part of the current Pension Credit Week of Action, we have joined forces with national charities, broadcasters and local authorities to encourage pensioners to check their eligibility and make a claim.<\/p>
<\/p>
From 16 September, we will be running a national marketing campaign on a range of channels. The campaign will target potential pension-age customers, as well as friends and family who can encourage and support them to apply.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our future campaign messaging will also focus on encouraging pensioners to apply for Pension Credit before the 21 December 2024, which is the last date for making a successful backdated claim for Pension Credit in order to receive a Winter Fuel Payment.<\/p>
<\/p>
We will work with external partners, local authorities and the Devolved Governments to boost the take-up of Pension Credit.<\/p>"}
