answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2023 answer text <p>The NHS Pension Scheme is an occupational pension scheme designed for staff engaged primarily in the delivery of services in the National Health Service. Employees of NHS trusts, for example, are normally engaged wholly in the delivery of NHS services and are therefore eligible for membership.</p><p>The majority of NHS dental services are contracted via a provider-performer dentist, with dental practices operating as private businesses. As a result, practices engage dental nurses and other dental care professionals as required for both their private and NHS business needs. As a result, it is difficult to identify staff as being primarily engaged in the delivery of NHS services and for this reason dental practice staff are unable to join the scheme.</p><p>As part of our work to improve the use of skill mix in dental teams, we are now collecting additional data on NHS care delivered by these staff members, which will support decision making in this area should it be considered further in the future.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 02/03/2023 15:35:51 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2023 answer text <p>The Department introduced temporary non-contractual COVID-19 sickness guidance at the start of the pandemic, to ensure National Health Service staff received full pay should they be advised to self-isolate or become ill with COVID-19.</p><p>As we learn to live with COVID-19, we have withdrawn this temporary non-contractual COVID-19 guidance. Staff who were on COVID-19 sickness pay have moved back to the normal terms and conditions (T&amp;Cs) sickness arrangements. The NHS T&amp;Cs pay up to six months full pay and six months half pay, depending on length of service. The Department has no plans to assess the potential merits of extending sick pay support for healthcare staff with long COVID-19.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 02/03/2023 15:18:38 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
