answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>NHS England recognises that atypical practices with a significantly skewed patient population will not necessarily have their workload reflected through the Carr-Hill Formula. It is for this reason that NHS England is exploring the additional demands on atypical practices, testing out in the first instance, the experiences of practices that serve university populations, practices with significant number of non-English speaking patients, and practices operating within remote or isolated areas.</p><p> </p><p>Commissioner guidance was published in December 2016 and further analysis of the workload implications is being undertaken.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 13/07/2017 11:47:14 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>The National Cancer Programme is committed to rolling out stratified follow-up pathways in breast cancer by 2020 to ensure patients get the right care after treatment, including information and support to spot signs and symptoms of recurrence or secondary cancer.

They can also ensure that in cases where there is recurrence or secondary cancer, patients are supported to return to care quickly and effectively.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is also working with key partners Health Education England and Macmillan Cancer Support, to understand the best approach to implementing the Taskforce’s recommendation that everyone should have access to a Clinical Nurse Specialist or other key worker by 2020.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 13/07/2017 13:03:50 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
