tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL5729
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>National Health Service organisations are responsible locally for their own policy on car parking, taking into account operational circumstances and community interests. Therefore there are no plans to intervene in any local disputes.</p><p>Hospitals should put concessions in place for those who most need help including disabled people, carers and staff who work shifts. The NHS itself is responsible for ensuring that charges are fairly applied. The Department published clear online only guidelines (the car parking principles) for NHS organisations that they are expected to follow.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 06/03/2018 15:18:48 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their estimate of the economic cost of the loss of productivity resulting from muscolo-skeletal problems and chronic pain.
tabling member printed	Lord Luce
uin	HL5738
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to helping people with musculoskeletal (MSK) and other long-term health conditions to get into, stay in, or return to work. Good work is generally for people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing, and work participation has benefits for the wider economy. It is estimated that the total cost of ill-health that prevents working age people from working, is around £100 billion per year.</p><p>That is why we published <em>Improving Lives: The Future of Work, Health and Disability</em> in November 2017. The publication sets out our plans over the next ten years focussing, in particular, on the next two to three years and on three key settings – the welfare system, the workplace and health services. A copy is attached.</p><p>Support for people with MSK conditions is one theme of the publication, as MSK conditions are among the most common health conditions affecting people’s work participation. In relation to MSK services, we are continuing to invest in research to build our understanding of existing provision across the health and employment support systems.</p><p>The Government will continue to work with other key stakeholders, disabled people and other experts as we develop our plans.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 07/03/2018 14:19:57 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy attachment 1 file name joint unit command paper.pdf title Improving Lives

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to extend the authority of GPs to refer patients on the Fit for Work scheme to other healthcare professionals such as nurses and physiotherapists.
tabling member printed	Lord Luce
uin	HL5740
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>There are no plans to extend the authority to refer patients to the Fit for Work service to other healthcare professionals, since employees can no longer be referred to the assessment service in England and Wales, and no further referrals will be taken to the assessment service in Scotland from 1 March 2018.</p><p>We recently published <em>Improving Lives: The Future of Work, Health and Disability</em>, in which we outlined our intention to work closely with partners and stakeholders to find robust and lasting solutions to the issues associated with work-related illness and sickness absence, in particular through reform of occupational health. A copy of <em>Improving Lives: The Future of Work, Health and Disability</em> is attached. We have commissioned further research to better understand the current market supply and delivery structures of occupational health provision and its operation. We will shortly appoint an expert working group to champion, shape and drive the work and to inform proposals by 2019/2020.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 06/03/2018 15:17:47 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy attachment 1 file name joint unit command paper.pdf title Improving Lives
