Assessment providers are required to ensure that all health professionals (HPs) carrying out Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments have training and knowledge of the clinical aspects and overall functional effects of a wide range of health conditions and impairments. The department does not believe that it is necessary for the provider to deploy HPs who are specialists in the specific conditions or impairments of the individuals they are assessing. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that HPs are experts in disability analysis, emphasising on the effects of health conditions and impairments on the claimant's daily life.<\/p>

<\/p>

HPs can access a wide range of clinical resources to research any conditions presented. This includes evidence-based protocols, e-learning modules or case studies, as well as keeping knowledge up to date through Continuous Professional Development (CPD). Both PIP providers have a condition insight report on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and CPD modules for their HPs on the condition.<\/p>

<\/p>

Claimants with ME/CFS are able to access PIP in the same way as other people with long-term health conditions or disabilities. DWP is committed to improving our services and works continuously with providers to improve the assessment process. The Shaping Future Support: The Health and Disability Green Paper, explored how the welfare system can better meet the needs of claimants now and in the future, by improving claimant experience of our services, enabling independent living, and improving employment outcomes. We are considering all the responses to the Green Paper proposals and are considering what future policy changes might look like. These will be set out in the White Paper later this year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4401", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Victoria Prentis"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Banbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Victoria Prentis"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-09-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-09-27T10:40:11.82Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-09-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Personal Independence Payment: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she has plans to revise the assessment process for Personal Independence Payment to make it more accessible for those who live with ME or CFS by ensuring assessors are specially trained to understand the condition.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4658", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alex Sobel"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leeds North West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Alex Sobel"} ], "uin" : "51932"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1199025", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Northern Ireland Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1199025/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

In accordance with section 9 of the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation etc.) Act 2019, regulations are now in place to make provision for accessing abortions in Northern Ireland.<\/p>

<\/p>

The duty to implement the CEDAW recommendations under section 9 of the NIEF Act is a matter of domestic, not international, law.<\/p>

<\/p>

Therefore we have not yet considered making an assessment of exercising powers under section 26 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.<\/p>

<\/p>

We hope that longer term services can be commissioned as soon as possible in Northern Ireland, consistent with the Regulations and we will continue to work with them to achieve this.<\/p>

Well-run prisons are fundamental to the proper functioning of our justice system, and a vital part of our reform plans. Private providers are required to maintain a sufficient number of staff, with the requisite level of skill and experience engaged in the provision of the Custodial Service, to ensure that the Prison is a safe, secure and decent environment. Privately Managed Prisons continue to play an important role in the prison estate and performance of all providers is closely monitored.<\/p>

<\/p>
