The Health and Care Bill delivers on the National Health Service\u2019s (NHS) own proposals for reform in its 2019 Long Term Plan. The proposed legislation intends to build on the excellent work that existing non-statutory Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) started and bring together more closely the health and care partners across the country.<\/p>
During the development of the Health and Care Bill, we have closely engaged with more than 100 organisations representing all parts of the health and care system. This includes engagement with patient representative organisations, whose contributions have been invaluable to the development of the Bill.<\/p>
In February 2021, we published the Health and Care Bill White Paper on gov.uk, outlining the intentions of the proposed legislation. In July 2021, we also published factsheets containing details on the measures in the Bill, explaining why they are needed and what impact they will have.<\/p>
We recognise that patients and the public must be informed about the impact of placing ICSs on a statutory footing. Last June, NHS England published an Integrated Care System Design Framework. This set the expectation that each integrated care board would develop a strategy for engaging with people and communities.<\/p>
Following engagement with hundreds of partners in the NHS and beyond, including local Government and members of the public, NHS England issued more detailed guidance in September, subject to Parliamentary passage of the Health and Care Bill, providing a set of principles and practical advice for local areas to use when developing their plans, including engaging with the public.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4362", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Edward Argar"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Charnwood"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Edward Argar"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-01-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-01-26T14:44:37.01Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-01-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "NHS"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he plans to take to communicate effectively with the public on his proposed restructures to the NHS and its effect on services.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "109292"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1247659", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1247659/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Leaving the EU presents a major opportunity for UK agricultural and fisheries sectors. There will be opportunities to build on our world-leading reputation of quality and standards. We are focused on making sure all of our policies deliver for the UK, grow our world-leading food and farming industry, and improve our environment. In 2016, 60 per cent of UK food, feed and drink exports were to countries in the EU, whilst 70 per cent of UK imports of food, feed and drink during the same period were from the EU. This underlines the UK\u2019s and EU\u2019s mutual interest in continuing high levels of market access in future.<\/p>
The Department for Exiting the European Union, working with officials across Government, is in the process of carrying out a programme of rigorous and extensive analytical work that will contribute to our exit negotiations with the EU, to define our future partnership with the EU, and to inform our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK\u2019s domestic policies and frameworks.
We want our future relationship with the EU to be a deep and special partnership, taking in both economic and security cooperation. We are confident that a future partnership between the UK and EU is in the interests of both sides, so we approach these negotiations anticipating success. We think that is by far and away the highest probability. We do not want or expect a no deal outcome, but we have a duty to plan for an alternative to the unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached. That is exactly what we are doing across the whole of Government.<\/p>"}
