answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2024 answer text <p>The NHS Federated Data Platform will deliver measurable improvements for patients. It will allow people to be discharged quicker, and for waiting lists to be shortened, through making better use of data.</p><p>It will securely bring together information already available to trusts, in hospital health records, waiting lists, and theatre and staff rosters, to better manage patient care. Each NHS organisation will be the data controller for their instance of the platform. Data will always remain under the full control and protection of the NHS and is only visible to approved users.</p><p>The NHS Federated Data Platform will provide trusts and integrated care boards, on behalf of local integrated care systems, with a set of core capabilities and nationally developed products, to support five key National Health Service priorities: elective recovery; care-co-ordination; vaccination and immunisation; population health management; and supply chain management.</p><p>A suite of products will sit under each of the use cases. A product is a software solution to address a particular NHS need, for example a patient discharge product which brings together data to help support discharge teams in hospitals in getting patients the right care in the right place. As each product is developed or transitioned to the NHS Federated Data Platform, a privacy notice will be published, setting out the data that will be utilised within the product. These are available at the following link:<a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/privacy-notice/how-we-use-your-information/nhs-federated-data-platform-privacy-notice/fdp-products-and-product-privacy-notices/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/privacy-notice/how-we-use-your-information/nhs-federated-data-platform-privacy-notice/fdp-products-and-product-privacy-notices/</a></p><p>The NHS Federated Data Platform is being implemented in phases, with the first phase, from March to July 2024, being a transition of existing National Data Platform products to the national instance of the NHS Federated Data Platform, and the transition of 44 pilot sites to local instances. The second phase, from May 2024 to March 2027 and following the successful transition phase, is the rollout of instances of the platform to new trusts and integrated care boards. Once trusts and boards have their local instance of the platform, they can choose to use any of the nationally commissioned products, and develop new or additional products locally, to address local issues. This is when the data will become visible to approved users.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 17/05/2024 12:01:44 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson previous answer version 31898 answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2024 answer text <p>The National Health Service is a world leader in rolling out innovative treatments and has established a dedicated national programme team which is working in partnership with other national agencies and with local health systems to prepare for the potential roll out of new treatments for use in the earlier stages of Alzheimer’s disease. These plans assume that, if these new treatments are approved by the regulators, significant additional diagnostic capacity, including amyloid positron emission tomography–computed tomography, lumbar puncture and magnetic resonance imaging, will be needed both to identify patients who are most able to benefit and to provide important safety monitoring.</p><p>The national programme team is conducting preparations across the country, working alongside clinicians and local teams to identify where further funding will be required to roll out the additional tests and services needed to introduce these new and complex treatments.</p><p>NHS England is also working with partner agencies to support and inform further research into other diagnostic modalities, including blood-based biomarker and digital tests, which will help improve identification and management of Alzheimer’s disease.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 25/04/2024 14:26:03 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2024 answer text <p>Good physical and mental health are underpinned by many socioeconomic factors beyond the health service. That is why we are working across the Government to improve air quality, ensure decent homes, and support disabled people and those with health conditions to work. The Levelling Up the United Kingdom white paper sets out the Government’s ambition to improve living standards and wellbeing across the United Kingdom, invest in communities, and improve public services. It sets mutually reinforcing levelling up missions to focus the Government’s action, including a health mission to narrow the gap in healthy life expectancy by 2030, and increase Healthy Life Expectancy by five years by 2035. The Government also provides a range of support, specifically to benefit claimants with a drug or alcohol dependency, to overcome their addiction and move into work.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 29/04/2024 14:24:06 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2024 answer text <p>It is the statutory duty of every local authority in England to undertake pharmaceutical needs assessments for their areas including those that are rural in nature, every three years, to ensure provision continues to meet their population’s needs.

Alternatively, in some rural areas, doctors are permitted to dispense medication to patients.</p><p>The Pharmacy Access scheme provides additional funding to pharmacies in the areas where there are fewer pharmacies.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 26/04/2024 13:21:30 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
