answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2017 answer text <p>​As part of our efforts to bring Daesh to justice, we are working closely with international partners, including the UN, to support the collection and preservation of evidence of Daesh crimes. On 21 September 2017, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously to adopt UK-drafted Resolution 2379, which requests the UN Secretary General to establish an Investigative Team to collect, preserve and store evidence of Daesh crimes. The team will be led by a Special Adviser with a mandate to promote efforts to bring Daesh to justice across the globe. The UK has pledged £1 million to support this team. We have also provided over £8 million since 2012 in support of NGOs gathering evidence and assisting victims in Syria.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 31/10/2017 17:02:16 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government (1) how many National Clinical Audits and Patient Outcome Audits there are currently in NHS England under the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership; (2) what percentage of care costs and English disability adjusted life years these audits cover; and (3) which diseases currently have patient reported outcomes, and which will have by next year.
tabling member printed	Lord Freyberg
uin	HL2191
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2017 answer text <p>NHS England has advised that there are 38 projects currently within the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP) Portfolio, which are at different stages of the commissioning cycle and comprise of 30 National Clinical Audits (NCA) and six Clinical Outcome Review Programmes or Mortality Review Programmes.</p><p> </p><p>The audits’ primary focus is not care costs or disability adjusted life years. The audits are predominately based upon National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) evidence-based guidelines, technology appraisals and quality standards. NICE takes into account both clinical and cost effectiveness (mainly Quality Adjusted Life Years) where appropriate, and the clinical evidence exists to enable this. The audits commissioned by NCAPOP use the NICE evidence-based outputs as a foundation for the metrics collected so that where possible the audits are based upon a sound pre-existing evidence base. The exception where care costs are investigated is health economic work undertaken by the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme.</p><p> </p><p>The following NCAs include patient reported outcomes (PROMS):</p><p> </p><p>- the National Audit of Psychosis, awarded in March 2017, will collect PROMs in year two of its contract (2018-19) and will likely report these at the end of 2019 as part of the annual report;</p><p>- the National Rheumatoid and Early Inflammatory Arthritis Audit, which ran from 2013 to 2016, collected data on PROMS (capturing disease activity and impact of disease). This audit has been recommissioned (contract commenced October 2017) and will once again incorporate PROMs. It is due to report in year two of its contract (2018-19);</p><p>- the National Ophthalmology Audit is undertaking a study to examine the feasibility of collecting cataract PROMs data. This will likely be published in 2018-19;</p><p>- the National Bowel Cancer Audit has undertaken a study to examine the feasibility of reporting PROMs. This is expected to be published later in 2017; and</p><p>- the National Prostate Cancer Audit has collected PROMs data, which is likely to be reported in 2018. The project is being recommissioned and there is currently provision for a national collection of PROMs and patient reported experience measure data within year three of the new contract (2020-21).</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 31/10/2017 15:04:08 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

tabling member printed	Lord Freyberg
uin	HL2194
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2017 answer text <p>NHS England funds the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NACPOP) which comprises up to 40 audits and reviews, managed by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP). National clinical audits commissioned through the NCAPOP already, in most cases, link clinical outcome data to activity data such as the Hospital Episodes Statistics to give a rounded picture of the quality of care. NHS England is currently working with NHS Digital and HQIP to explore how to further improve the ability to link the data, as well as the timeliness and accessibility of clinical audit. The aim is to optimise use of the data to support effective commissioning of healthcare services and stimulate improvement in the quality of care by, for example, linking with electronic patient records in the future.</p><p> </p><p>There are no limitations on who may apply for the data. In order to maximise the potential of the data for uses such as medical research and innovation, NHS Digital, who carry out some of the audits on behalf of HQIP, aim to share data wherever possible, subject to the appropriate legal and confidentiality requirements being met to safeguard public trust. All requests for pseudonymised and identifiable data under the Data Controllership of NHS Digital are managed through its central Data Access Request Service.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 31/10/2017 12:40:51 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
